Volunteering - Spalding Gentlemen's Society Volunteering Volunteering SGSocAdmin 2026-01-08T20:46:51+00:00 Spalding Gentlemen’s Society is not just a collection of objects in a building – it is also a community of people. We are a society in every sense of the word and moreover one which began in 1710. That we have survived for over three hundred years and flourish as we do today, is down to the support, dedication and hard work of so many past and present members. The need for support, dedication and hard work has never been greater. We rely on volunteer assistance (whether from Council, wider membership or even non-members) for a huge range of tasks required to maintain the building, the collection, care and conservation processes and access. We believe enjoyment of the arts and humanities enriches peoples’ lives and our aim is to encourage this enjoyment by: Caring for, understanding, enhancing, displaying and interpreting our collection Reaching as wide a public as possible by providing a welcoming and intimate experience for people of all ages, abilities, cultures and backgrounds. The roles and tasks undertaken by Volunteers allow the Society to offer a high quality of visitor experience whilst closely involving not just Society members but volunteers from the wider community too. No matter the size of your contribution you will be part of a huge resource, a “major donor” to the ongoing successes of the Society. Your support is invaluable and it is very much appreciated.
