Your local National Trust property A la Ronde, in Exmouth, needs your support as a volunteer. If you would like to find out more, please come along to one of our volunteer recruitment coffee mornings on:
Wednesday 15thst January, or Friday 24th January 10.30am-12.30pm.
You are invited to come along to A la Ronde to chat with staff and volunteers and learn about the multiple ways to get involved with the National Trust’s team. There are many great ways to volunteer at A la Ronde, whether it is re-telling the story of Jane & Mary Parminter to visitors, explaining the history of the house and its objects, welcoming visitors as they arrive or leading garden tours. New recruits have the chance to be a part of the team that brings A la Ronde to life. House Experience Volunteer Peter Mason says “Volunteering at A la Ronde is made special by the happy and relaxed atmosphere, plus you get to meet so many interesting visitors. The house is of size you could imagine living in. Home of Jane & Mary Parminter built in the 1790’s, A la Ronde, encourages visitors to find out about the extraordinary life of the Parmiter’s by visiting their quirky home and taking a guided tour of the grounds. “Visitors appreciate the personal touch our volunteers bring to their day, andwe appreciate the support and loyalty our volunteers give to A la Ronde.
Volunteers don’t need to have any knowledge but be curious enough to pick up facts to share with our visitors. We want our volunteers to feel welcome and enjoy volunteering with us. Our roles are flexible to suit the volunteer’s interest and skills,” says Alison Palfrey, Volunteer & Community Officer at A la Ronde.
