For many, New Year's resolutions are fresh on our minds with the year ahead acting as a perfect blank canvas! Perhaps youâre looking to try a new hobby this year, grow your CV, meet more people or take steps to become more confident. Well, weâve got just the thing for you! Kickstart your New Yearâs resolution and join the Milestones Museum volunteer team.
Located in the heart of Basingstoke, a short distance from the city centre at the Leisure Park, thereâs no need to âremember the good old daysâ â at Milestones Living History Museum, you can live them!
The unique venue offers the perfect opportunity for you to become a part of living history. Step into one of the museumâs varied volunteer roles, with something for everyone throughout the indoor cobbled streets. Roles are open to all!
𧔠Help shape the generation of tomorrow and teach key skills as a Make Do and Mend leader
đź Patrol the Milestones streets as Victorian or WWII policeman â can you keep the Milestones volunteers in check?
đ Have you got the gift of the gab? Flog fruit and veg as an authentic market trader or greengrocer
đ©Č Is it wash day already? Hang your bloomers out to dry as a Victorian housewife!
...and more!
The museum boasts a wonderful collection of artefacts and historic objects, as well as excellent events for all throughout the year. Spanning from the Victorian era, right through to the 1940s, the museum is a brilliant space for making new friends, learning new skills and trying something new in 2023. So whether youâre a student looking for a way to build on your skills and CV, a retiree that likes the sound of dishing out rations in the 1940s sweet shop or youâre someone who looking to pick up a community-facing role with a local charity this year, Milestones is the place to be!
