This week is Volunteers' Week!
Volunteers’ Week is an annual UK-wide campaign held from the first Monday in June to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers.
Volunteering is a vital component of UK society, and Darfield Museum and Darfield Area Amenity Society would like to thank our volunteers for giving their valuable time to keep the museum and DAAS going.
Could you volunteer for a couple of hours once a month❓
😊We always welcome new volunteers to join our friendly team so if you have a couple of hours where you can give your time and would like to help…
CALL INTO THE MUSEUM and have a chat. 😊
Darfield Museum is run entirely by volunteers right from the trustees, committee, treasurer, curators, admin, shop, tea room, tour guides, gardeners and not to mention all of the volunteer help that goes into putting on the events that we hold throughout the year.
