Volunteering opportunities
Volunteers are the power and inspiration behind The Evelyn Glennie Collection, helping us to develop and use this unique resource in our work.
Whether you’re interested in the formal business of archiving or something more social and ongoing such as leading Collection Tours, we have roles and tasks to suit all type of interest and availability.
Trustee Treasurer
The Evelyn Glennie Foundation is seeking a Trustee with a professional background in finance to fulfil the role of Treasurer, playing a key role in shaping our governance, policies, programmes and financial strategy.
Developing The Collection
Do you have experience working or volunteering in the museum or heritage sector? Do you understand how to conserve, preserve and enhance a unique, primary source repository of artefacts?
We have big plans for development of The Collection which would benefit hugely from the experience, expertise or insights of others. Voluntary opportunities to support this are available both on site at our offices and remotely. If you are interested in helping to shape and deliver these, please get in touch.
