Getting Involved
Volunteering
We rely on the support of an amazing group of volunteers who support the organisation in a variety of ways – working on the museum collection, helping with events, and running the heritage centre.
If you’re looking to…
- meet new people and learn new skills
- give something back to the town
- gain confidence or simply just have fun
…then we would love to hear from you.
We’d also like to hear from people who may be interested in joining us as a trustee.
However much you’d like to get involved – in the first instance, please email Jacqueline at: jacqueline.ferguson-lee@wirksworthheritagecentre.org
Membership
Wirksworth Heritage Centre has around 60 members who support the organisation. Our membership scheme is currently being reviewed, and more information will be available here soon.
Job Vacancies
Writer in Residence
We have now recruited Helen Greetham, a writer/graphic novelist, who will produce a graphic novel or comic inspired by George Eliot’s Adam Bede and the novel’s links to Wirksworth as part of the bicentennial celebrations of the author’s birth. The writer in residence is re-interpreting elements of Adam Bede in the form of a graphic novel or comic, inspired by some of the figures and places in Wirksworth, and we intend to publish a limited run of the final work and produce it as an ebook.
