In the latest of our series of ‘Meet the Volunteer’ profiles we hear from Linda who is a volunteer in the 1930s domestic rooms.
“When I retired I wanted more to my life than ‘ladies that lunch’. I love history and always had a soft spot for the Museum, and could use my social skills.
I began volunteering in October 2016 and you can usually see me on a Friday in the domestic rooms.
Volunteering has made a positive impact on my life: After 47 years of a ‘career job’ I find this social and enjoyable and I’m hopefully making a difference without the pressure of employment.
The best thing about volunteering for me is being free of computers and being able to spend my time on a face to face basis in great surroundings whilst knowing I am helping a good cause.”
