Support us
We rely on grants and visitor donations to fund maintenance for our current sites and to take on new monuments at risk. We need your help to continue our work.

Why support us?
Our sites need lots of care and attention – we make sure the buildings are looked after and repaired when needed; we maintain the natural environment our sites sit in; and we also need to keep our fences, pathways, notice boards, carparks and other infrastructure in a good state of repair.
You can help us continue to save Norfolk’s historic monuments:
- Make a donation
- Become a member
- Get involved by volunteering.

Volunteer
Volunteers play an important part in the success of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust. From helping with conservation to offering visitors and schools guided tours, and even the odd bit of administrative work, there are a variety of ways to get involved and help support our ongoing work. No matter what your age or time availability you can get involved.
As a volunteer you will have the opportunity to meet new people, learn more about your local history or try out a new skill, and have the feel good factor of knowing you are helping a local charity. Here’s what some of our current volunteers have to say about their time with the Trust.
Volunteering is a great way to support the Norfolk Archaeological Trust and by helping us look after and share our sites you help us fulfil our core mission. We want to make sure all our volunteers get the most from their time with the Trust in recognition of the valuable work they do.
We look to engage volunteers in a variety of different roles and you can see our current volunteering opportunities below. We also ensure that all our volunteers have the right support, training and induction they need to carry out the role. Existing volunteers can find everything they need to volunteer on this page too.

It complements a more specific role induction you will receive with your volunteer manager when you start.

Health and Safety
The Trust is committed to providing healthy and safe conditions for our volunteers when carrying out their tasks. We do this by carrying out risk assessments and providing volunteers with the information, training and equipment they need to remain safe whilst carrying out their role.
To help us ensure our sites are safe, volunteers are reminded that they have a duty of care for themselves and also others who may be affected by their actions on sites. As part of this, we provide volunteers with emergency procedures for each site which can be found below, as well as an incident reporting form to report any accident, incident or near miss.
Emergency Procedures – Bloodgate Hillfort
Emergency Procedures – Burgh Castle
Emergency Procedures – Burnham Norton Friary
Emergency Procedures – Caistor Roman Town
Emergency Procedures – Fiddlers Hill
Emergency Procedures – Tasburgh
Emergency Procedures – St Benet’s Abbey
