The Norfolk Tank Museum is a small, independent, volunteer-run museum which became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2018, in 2023 the museum started working to Museum Accreditation, a national benchmark standard for museums.
 The museum is managed and run by a dedicated team of volunteers. The Norfolk Tank Museum doesn’t receive any government funding and relies on money raised from admission fees and sales in the shop and café to pay its running costs, without the dedication of the volunteers the museum couldn’t open to the public and continue to maintain the collection in a running order.

If you are retired and miss being part of a team and having something to occupy you , but not the stress, then volunteering  might be the thing for you.  Alternatively, if you are looking for that extra something on your CV,  perhaps for university or a change of career, volunteering could help.  Some of our volunteers started with us when they were just between jobs and enjoyed being active and occupied. We have had several young people volunteering with us to attain their Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and others completing work experience whilst still at school and college. Our volunteers learn new skills, meet new people and enjoy looking after some of Britain’s military history. Volunteering can be for as little as a couple of hours a week, or as many days as we are open; it’s your decision.  For many roles no particular skills or experience are required.
