OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers are much valued members of the PK Porthcurno team and play an important role in supporting our visitors’ experience of the museum and its collections. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, from supporting our public services to digitising our archive collections and keeping our historic equipment in good working order. As a volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to make new friends, share your skills and even improve your employment opportunities, and you’ll also know that your time and expertise are helping to support the work of an educational charity and independent museum.

Work in a friendly and fulfilling environment
