Volunteering at the museum is a great way to meet new people, find out more about the town and the people and events who have made it what it is today.

Marlow Museum is a volunteer run organisation and we are always keen to meet people who want to join our team. We have recently increased our opening hours and have a busy programme of events and activities that accompany our exhibitions - all of which is supported by our brilliant volunteers.

If you’re interested in volunteering with us please have a look at some of the roles listed below or contact us to talk about how you’d like to get involved. No prior knowledge is required, just an open manner and a willingness to learn as you go along. We will provide a full induction, ongoing support from our Volunteer Coordinator and offer a programme of training and social activities. contact@marlowmuseum.org

We are open on Wednesdays, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays, so if you can spare a couple of hours a week, a day every so often, or can help on special days and events, we would love to hear from you.

For those with appropriate experience, please consider becoming a TRUSTEE We have a continued need for Trustees to provide guidance and expert assistance in many areas of our operations including Museum Collections, Law, HR, Communications or Fundraising.

Other means of supporting the Museum are to become a MEMBER. Marlow Museum is a membership organisation which means we have a requirement in our Constitution to have Members who vote at the AGM to elect people from among their number to serve as Trustees who govern the charity.

Members are therefore the core supporters of the Museum and many are Volunteers too. Members are asked to pay a membership subscription of £20 a year for an individual and £30 for a family, which is due on May 1st each year. These subscriptions are an essential source of income for the Museum.

The incentive to become a Member is to know that you are helping keep the Museum going with your time, ideas and subscriptions, and you can influence the way the museum develops. We would like more people to become Members.

As a Member you will receive: four newsletters a year and priority invitations to openings of new exhibitions.

If you would like to become a member and vote at the AGM in July, we would be delighted. Please complete the form on the website and return it to the museum with your annual subscription.
