VOLUNTEERS AT THE NOTHE FORT
The Volunteers are the lifeblood of Nothe Fort and undertake a varied range of managerial, administrative, professional and skilled roles necessary to protect the fabric of the Fort, operate the museum and manage the events that are held at the Fort.
During the period when the Fort is open to the public the volunteers man the reception, shop and museum areas. When the Fort is closed to the public the volunteers undertake essential repairs to the fabric of the Fort and build new exhibits for the museum. The volunteers also undertake research work and care of the artefacts in the museum’s collection.
Nothe Fort is also a good place to make new friends and play a vital and rewarding role in the protection of an important part of the Nation’s heritage.
