Get Involved! - In A Range Of Exciting Opportunities As A Volunteer

Bradford Council Museums and Galleries has been awarded the People Can Volunteering Quality Standard, which recognises good practice in volunteer management for volunteer-involving organisations across the Bradford and District local authority area.

Volunteers contribute to museums and galleries in many different ways, from engaging directly with visitors to working behind the scenes with object displays, family events and collections care teams. They help to provide valuable services that we would not otherwise be able to provide.
