Volunteer with us

Filey Museum is seeking enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help with its next chapter.

Our museum is run entirely by volunteers, and your support is needed as we prepare to welcome visitors back to Filey’s oldest building.

• Cleaning and repairs: Assist with the care and maintenance of the museum’s items and displays.
• On-going operations: Support the day-to-day running of the museum once we reopen to the public including our shop (both in the museum & online).
• Communication: Help with our social media, newsletter and other PR.
Why volunteer with us?
