    Lincoln Castle Volunteers

    by Madeleine, almost 2 years ago

    At Lincoln Castle our team of lively, positive volunteers help turn our visitors' day out into a walk through 1000 years of history.

    They meet and greet our visitors, helping and advising them at every stage of their visit, they clear tables in the café and keep our grounds in tip top condition.

    We welcome hundreds of thousands over visitors to Lincoln Castle each year and we simply couldn't do it without our team of volunteers - thank you!

This gave me the opportunity to build professional relationships, expand my local government knowledge and build my confidence. This led to me applying/accepting a permanent position at a district council and then a role within Lincolnshire County Council. I loved being a volunteer and met some amazing people who will always be in... Continue reading
