Volunteering at the Museum of Bath Architecture

Volunteers at the Museum of Bath Architecture provide invaluable service in a variety of ways. Our front of house volunteers are visitors’ first point of contact with the museum, so have an important public facing role. They have the opportunity to work on admissions and shop sales, enquiries and research. Behind-the-scenes work might include assistance with exhibitions, slide collections, library stock, administration or one-off projects.

Volunteers are entitled to the following benefits and privileges:

  • Complimentary individual membership of the Bath Preservation Trust. This includes newsletters, calendar of events, free admission to the Trust’s four museums and invitations to exhibition openings.
  • An annual excursion, expenses paid for.
  • A Christmas party.

 

How to apply

No particular credentials or experience is required to become a volunteer. However, it is desirable that applicants have an interest in the history of Bath and/or eighteenth century architecture as well as a willingness to work with staff, visitors and other volunteers in communicating that interest through a variety of activities.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at the Museum of Bath Architecture, please contact the Museum of Bath Architecture Administrator, Tim Beale, on 01225 333895 or tbeale@bptrust.org.uk

GIFT AID IT

Bath Preservation Trust is a registered charity and you can support our charitable aims through Gift Aid. Under the Gift Aid scheme, instead of paying an admission charge, you can now donate the same amount.

When you donate, you will be asked to confirm whether or not you are a UK taxpayer. Tax can only be reclaimed on donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year.

We can then recover tax on your donation. To us, that’s worth an extra 25p for every £1 you give. All you need to do is complete a simple declaration when you arrive. To help in this way you must be a UK taxpayer. Your details will remain confidential.

This support will help preserve No.1 for future generations.

Gift Aid
Why your donation is so valuable to the Bath Preservation Trust

As well as running four museums – the Museum of Bath Architecture, No.1 Royal Crescent, the Herschel Museum of Astronomy and Beckford’s Tower and Museum – the Bath Preservation Trust run a highly successful education programme, which recently earned a prestigious Sandford Award, and undertake vital campaigning work to protect the status of the World Heritage city.  And we do all of this with no assistance from public funding which is why ongoing financial support is essential. Your donation is therefore vital to help us with our work.

How to donate to the Bath Preservation Trust

If you prefer, donations can be made by cheque or through CAF.  Some of our supporters generously make a regular donation through a direct debit and if you would like to know more about this, please contact Jan Hull, Development Officer at Bath Preservation Trust, by phone on 01225 338727 or email fundraising@bptrust.org.uk

However you choose to support us, please remember to Gift Aid it.  Pledging Gift Aid will cost you nothing and it allows Bath Preservation Trust to reclaim tax at the current basic rate.

Gifts in wills, or as a memorial, are also very important and have made a substantial difference to Bath Preservation Trust.  If you would like to know more, please click here or contact our office for a confidential discussion.

We greatly appreciate all the donations we receive. They make an immediate difference to our work, and we’re very grateful to our many supporters who have helped us over the past 80 years.
