By volunteering at Hampshire Cultural Trust, you can make a real difference to your local community and enrich your own life, too.
From working with our collections to running Make Do and Mend sessions, maintaining our gardens to giving our visitors a warm and friendly welcome, there is a volunteer role to suit you. There are so many benefits to volunteering: you can learn new skills or share those you already have, meet new people or pursue a passion.
Here's what some of our volunteers say about why they volunteer at Hampshire Cultural Trust:
"I absolutely recommend volunteering for Hampshire Cultural Trust. I volunteer at Milestones to combat loneliness, to interact with the community, build confidence and create and share memories with visitors."
"Starting volunteering, I wanted to give back to the town that has given me so much all my life and to meet like-minded people. Now, it is interesting, social and you feel genuinely appreciated by everybody. It feels good to give back."
"I love volunteering at the Red House as you never know what the day will bring. It is very difficult to choose a favourite part of the site – I love the garden and it can be so peaceful, and thanks to our dedicated team of gardeners, it looks wonderful in summer. The Gallery has interesting displays and helps me to appreciate art more. I would recommend volunteering with HCT you just never know who you will meet."
Whether you are looking to commit for a few hours a week or are after a short-term project, our volunteer roles offer flexibility, enjoyment and a chance to develop both yourself and others.
