Volunteers are essential to the work we do at Littlehampton Museum, and we have a dedicated team of Volunteers helping us with a range of projects and tasks. These range from cataloguing our collection to carrying out research and answering our many public enquiries.

Friends of Littlehampton Museum

The Friends of Littlehampton Museum is a separate organisation that has been set up to support the Museum in its mission. The Friends are a group of likeminded individuals who all enjoy finding out more about the history of the town and are regular museum supporters and sometimes ex volunteers. The Friends Group is a wonderful way to get involved and is an alternative to volunteering. The Friends Group are involved in collections research, supporting the museum at town events as well as fundraising. The Group are in the initial phase of setting up and hope to have a programme of events available soon. If you would like to find out more information please email the Friends group.

Students will have the opportunity to work alongside Museum staff on collections documentation, collections care, exhibitions, research and public engagement. They will also be given their own project for the duration of their placement.
