It’s Volunteers’ Week, and our volunteers are truly the backbone of King John’s House. We are so grateful for their time and effort looking after our museum collections, our beautiful gardens and even our historic buildings – thank you everyone! 👍😄

Our Maintenance Team achieves wonders, including building the interior of our café from scratch last year. Here are a few words from Mark, head of the team, on what volunteering at King John's House means to him:

‘After Covid, I followed up on an advert for a handyman. It’s been great fun and very rewarding, particularly learning about working in a heritage environment. I’m really enjoying being able to use experience gained during my working life to manage the team and the projects we do, as well as the practical things. And everyone makes it fun!’

Here are a few words from Sue, one of our Maintenance Team volunteers, on what volunteering at King John's House means to her:

'Volunteering has not only allowed me to acquire new practical and DIY skills, but make a tangible difference in my community. Working as part of a small team, volunteering is a natural mood booster and has given me a wonderful sense of accomplishment.'
