The London Museums Hub asked me to provide volunteering consultancy to several small museums, including:
The Embroiders’ Guild, London
The Embroiders’ Guild is a national charity with a small gallery space in Hampton Court Palace. I helped the staff develop their volunteer programme to help achieve their aims of becoming a learning organisation and reflect their local community by broadening their volunteering base.
The Kew Bridge Steam Museum, London
The Museum was keen to get an external perspective on its volunteer programme and to look at diversifying its volunteer team.
Gunnersbury Park Museum, London
I worked with the Director to create a structured volunteer programme to support specific key roles.
The Florence Nightingale Museum, London
I helped the Museum review their volunteer programme with a view for making it fit-for-purpose when the Museum re-opened after refurbishment. We developed a plan to keep volunteers involved during closure, to create new roles to meet the needs of the new Museum, to attract members of the local community to those roles, and to train the volunteer team pre-opening.
The Jewish Museum
I helped re-shape the existing volunteer programme to ensure that the new museum opens with a majority volunteer-run front-of-house team. |
