How to Volunteer

Volunteering is a simple matter. It can be done through the Vale and Downland Museum or by directly contacting a member of the Trust:

either by Phone: 01235-766264, which has a recorded messaging service

or by e-mail: chair@betjemanpark.org.uk

As many volunteers remark: "two of the things that we most like about helping in the Park are the friendly Working Parties and the delicious refreshments provided!"

From rumpled beds on far-off new estates,
From houses over shops along the square,
From red-brick villas somewhat further out’
Ringers arrive, converging on the tower.
