Volunteer at Tyntesfield
Say hello to some of our volunteers...
Mel, harvesting volunteer since April 2017
"I feel very lucky. It's brilliant to be outdoors - so good for mental health - and every week I'm learning a bit more about harvesting and growing."
Jon, play maintenance volunteer since 2014
"There are around a dozen of us in the role and between us we check the four play areas on the estate once a week and do minor repairs if we need to."
Adi, baking volunteer since 2015
"I love volunteering and baking and this is a great way to combine the two. I've learned a lot being in a working kitchen and love working with the team."
John and Doreen, fungi auditor volunteers since 2003
"Tyntesfield is great for fungi because there's such a variety of environments. We're always finding different specimens and every month is different so it's always interesting."
Gerry, Tyntesfield volunteer since 2001
"I started as a tour guide, then helped catalogue the house's contents. Now I run the second-hand bookshop with a team of volunteers - everything we raise helps care for Tyntesfield."
Chris, volunteer bus driver since 2014
“It’s great driving the bus. I really enjoy chatting to the visitors and the volunteers are great fun. I’d recommend this role – and any volunteering – to everyone.”
