Our volunteers across the UK undertake vital work – contributing their time, skills and energy to support the work of the Art Fund.

The helping hands that get things done

Our massive year-round programme of fundraising, recruiting and event-planning depends crucially on the support of our volunteers whose unpaid efforts turn goodwill into achievement.

Applying your skills on terms that suit your hours

You do not have to know a lot about art to volunteer. We need many different skills to help us in our work so whatever your qualifications, experience, or interests, there will be a role that suits you. Volunteering can also provide opportunities for you to develop new skills and we will provide training where appropriate.

Ways you can help

Use your imagination and local knowledge to come up with new event ideas or fundraising suggestions to enable us to support even more museums and galleries

Liaise with venues, speakers, coach operators or caterers to get a successful event idea off the ground

We’re always looking for volunteers to give talks and presentations about the Art Fund, distribute leaflets and find other ways to raise awareness of the important work we do

Build good relationships with the media and write articles for the local press to help raise the profile of the Art Fund near you

Clerical, secretarial or finance duties are vital in keeping the work of the Art Fund running smoothly

A satisfying experience

Volunteering is a great way to meet people and to have fun, to gain new skills or develop existing ones – and it is an opportunity to make a real difference. 

We are always looking to welcome new volunteers to our team. If you would like to take part, we would love to hear from you.
