Get Involved

One of the best ways to support the project and the Trust is by becoming a volunteer

The Chamberlain Highbury Trust can only exist with the input and work of volunteers.

We are so lucky to be guardians of an estate that inspires and impassions people. We are constantly reminded of the very special asset that Highbury is both to the local community, the city and the rest of the world.

The Chamberlain Highbury Trust is committed to equal opportunities.

As a volunteer:

  • You will be made to feel welcome by the organisation
  • Your skills will be matched with our opportunities wherever possible
  • You are covered by The Chamberlain Highbury Trust’s insurance if working under our instruction

  • You will be provided with an induction, training and support in order to fulfil your volunteer role
  • Your work conditions will be safe and healthy wherever possible – risks will be advised where necessary
  • The Chamberlain Highbury Trust will help you to resolve any problems that arise
  • You will be given a regular opportunity to review what you do
  • The Chamberlain Highbury Trust will seek your views on volunteering and your experiences as a volunteer
  • You will be entitled to claim back expenses at cost to and from the place of volunteering of up to a maximum of £6 per day, including parking (please submit receipts or tickets).
