Volunteer at West Bay Discovery Centre

Volunteers are at the heart of our award-winning Centre.

Whether you are volunteering to keep busy, learn new skills or to meet new people West Bay Discovery Centre is a great place to be.

Our fantastic team of over 40 volunteers share their knowledge and enthusiasm with our visitors.

Most of our volunteers work as Stewards but we have a range of roles to suit many different interests and skill-sets and would love to hear from you.

Join us to discover, develop and share your skills, talent and connections.

Our Stewards welcome visitors, provide local information and look after our small retail area.

No experience is required as full training is given. The steward shifts are two and a half hours in length (11am-1:30pm or 1:30-4pm.)

West Bay Discovery Centre was very excited to announce that they have been awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service.

This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.

The  Award recognises the work of voluntary groups that do things differently, consistently and outstandingly well.  West Bay Discovery Centre was one of only two organisations in Dorset to receive the award on 14th November 2024.
