Fife Folk Museum volunteer appeal

From Fife Folk Museum (https://www.fifefolkmuseum.org):

FIFE FOLK MUSEUM – VOLUNTEER APPEAL

In readiness for reopening on Sat April 1st, the Trustees of Fife Folk Museum are launching an appeal for new volunteers to join the existing group.

Our main exhibition this year is ‘The History of The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’, in addition, there will be ‘A sense of place’ exhibition featuring the work of local artist Alan Watson we expect both to be of great interest hence our appeal.

Some of the tasks involve working with the public and some are "behind the scenes". For the Museum to be open to the public throughout the season from 1st April to 31st October. The main area where volunteers are needed is on the reception desk, meeting and greeting visitors to the Museum and coffee shop. Two volunteers are needed on duty for a three hour shift either a morning or afternoon session Wednesday to Sunday when the Museum is open. Also, your ideas for future exhibitions would be greatly welcomed. No special skills are required to become a volunteer other than reliability, an interest in the Museum and its exhibits and the ability to communicate with the public. Training is given on a variety of tasks to suit each volunteer.  There are regular buses to Ceres from Leven, Cupar, St Andrews and the surrounding area.
Why volunteer?

Volunteering can add to your skills and experience, help you gain confidence, meet new people and give a feeling of satisfaction working as a team towards a common goal. Volunteering can help you feel a part of something outside of your circle of friends and family and enable you to make a real difference to your community.
