Volunteering

Volunteers are involved in every aspect of work across The Gasworks Sudbury. Whether it’s repairing and maintaining the building, looking after the woodland and outdoor areas, supporting our management team, meeting and greeting visitors, or working on community events and fundraising. Volunteers make an invaluable contribution to help keep The Gasworks Sudbury available for future generations. 

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering at The Gasworks Sudbury is a great opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and make a real impact in creating a welcoming community space for Sudbury Parish and its visitors.

We also welcome families that would like to volunteer together. Volunteering as a family gives you the chance to spend quality time together without the costs of a traditional day out. This is suitable for children aged 10+ but we are open to discussions around age based on your individual circumstances.

For more information please email Lisa at weddings@sudburygasworks.com or call 07540636153.
