Here at the SS Great Britain, our team of volunteers go above and beyond. This (1st - 7th June) we say a MASSIVE thank you to our dedicated team.
They were aptly described in a recent visitor review:
"𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨! 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙪𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙚-𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙧, 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙙’𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠’𝙨 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩! 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜.”
Coming from all walks of life and a range of experiences, the volunteer team consistently go out of their way to help the organisation and the many visitors who come from all over the world. In 2025, we had 159 volunteers who contributed 14,392 hours of their time across 14 different disciplines.
Throughout the week, we'll be putting the spotlight various members of the team to find out more about what volunteering means to them.
