Volunteering at the Stathnaver Museum

 

Strathnaver Museum was established by historian Dr Ian Grimble and a group of dedicated local volunteers who wished to preserve and protect their local heritage. We opened our doors to the public on the first of April 1976 and to this day the Museum remains a volunteer led organisation. Our volunteers are our greatest asset and through their combined and extensive knowledge the Museum explores the Highland Clearances, the story of the Clan Mackay and the agricultural story of the area.

As you can imagine we were delighted to be told last month that our application to the Voluntary Action Fund for a Volunteer Support Grant was successful! Our grant will enable us to develop more opportunities for volunteering through creating exciting outreach projects across the whole of Mackay Country. We know that it can be difficult to find the time to do all the things people want to do but we will create flexible and worthwhile volunteering opportunities for everyone. 

People volunteer their time for lots of different reasons from getting out and meeting people, expanding their skills and experience, to look good on a CV or for their own personal interest. So if you are interested in volunteering at the Strathnaver Museum, for whatever reason, we would love to hear from you!
