Volunteering for the Partnership

Local groups and individuals are encouraged to learn more about the scheme and to support the activities however they can. The Partnership needs the help of volunteers to help achieve their aims and outcomes. Volunteers will get to the opportunity to learn new heritage skills and attend training sessions and workshops. Volunteers will be able to participate in a variety of activities, some of which include: archaeological investigations, conducting wildlife surveys and assisting with events.
