What will you be doing?
The Buildings at Risk project provides a uniquely flexible volunteering opportunity.
No prior knowledge or experience of historic buildings is required – just an inquisitive nature and enthusiasm to explore!
There is a 30-minute training module to complete before joining the project to ensure that every volunteer, whether novice or enthusiast, has a consistent approach to their building condition surveys. It is then up to you whether you dip-in while waiting for a bus, or structure a full day of exploring with friends. This project is an opportunity for us to build a community of volunteers; people like you who are interested in the historic landscape of Derbyshire and passionate about preserving this for future generations.
There are so many buildings to survey, we are looking for as many volunteers as possible. Whether you only survey one building or one hundred, all contributions are important. Each survey takes around 5 minutes, so you’ll be able to fit them around your day – whenever and wherever you like; there are historic buildings everywhere!
All our volunteers are immensely important to us and make this project achievable.
This exciting initiative has been made possible thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Players.
