Dr Johnson’s House has a dedicated team of volunteers who provide invaluable support to our two members of staff, aiding the smooth running of the house.

Volunteering can be a great way to meet new people and gain behind-the-scenes experience in a small historic house, and we recurit people of all ages and backgrounds to join our friendly volunteer team.

Read the blogs of former office volunteers, who discuss their experience of volunteering at Dr Johnson's House:
