Farm museum seeks volunteers

VOLUNTEERS are being sought by the charity running Robert Burns’ Ellisland Farm and Museum near Dumfries.

And the heritage centre is holding a volunteer open day on Wednesday at 1 pm for anyone interesting in supporting the centre.

Existing volunteers will be there to chat alongside staff members.

A range of volunteering roles are available including gardening and maintenance, keeping the museum clean and tidy, visitor services, occasional events support and educational delivery.

Joan McAlpine, business development manager at Ellisland said: “Ellisland would not survive without the work of our volunteers, who are the lifeblood of our organisation. We have a wide variety of roles, some public facing, some behind the scenes.”

If you are unable to attend but would like to hear more about volunteering at Ellisland, please contact Sarah White at [email protected].
