Volunteer with The Gurkha Museum Trust

Volunteer and be part of something meaningful with The Gurkha Museum Trust. Join us in our mission to preserve, protect and promote 210 years of rich Gurkha history and culture.

We are looking for passionate volunteers who are eager to share in the legacy of military history and give back through our heritage charity.

As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to engage in various meaningful activities. You will play a vital role in delivering educational programs, supporting the front of the house, and assisting with collections and research. The roles can be interchangeable and flexible, or you can specialise to best suit your skillset and interests.

Whether you are available on week days, evenings, weekends, or just a few hours each month, we offer the flexibility to accommodate your dedication.

We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about the British Army’s Gurkhas, their history and their culture, and are eager to make a meaningful impact.

There are three areas you could support:

Education: You will assist in delivering educational programs that will connect the stories and history of the Gurkhas to audiences of all ages – including youth groups, schools, community groups, and military units.

Gallery guide: Your role may involve responding to the diverse needs of visitors as a gallery guide or assisting in the Museum shop, ensuring a welcoming and informative experience for all Museum visitors.

Collection: Additionally, you may have the chance to assist with collections and research, helping to preserve artefacts and documents that tell the over 210-year-old story of the Gurkhas.
