Volunteering
Volunteering is a wonderful way to learn more about William De Morgan, Evelyn De Morgan, and the artworks in the collection, and to bring them to life for our visitors.
The Foundation’s office is based at our Museum at Cannon Hall in Barnsley. Volunteering opportunities fall within the following areas:
- Front of house: visitor engagement and museum invigilation, tour guiding
- Learning and education: schools, communities, adult learning
- Fundraising
- Collections management and curatorial
- Museum administration
Opportunities to volunteer for the Foundation are at our Museum Cannon Hall in Barnsley and at our partners, Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village in Surrey and Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton.
When we have opportunities for volunteering they will be posted here.
