Volunteering
We want you!
We are currently looking for volunteers to fill a range of roles, particularly including HR and Safeguarding.
Our new shop also requires sales assistants and helpers during the opening hours, which are currently curtailed due to a need for more staff.
If you feel that you have the skills to help us out, and are able to spare some time, please send us a message through our contact page, or via email at tarkavalleyrailway@gmail.com!
The on site volunteer day at the station site is currently every Thursday
(and occasional Saturdays, please check our social media pages for more information).
8am-4pm depending on weather, daylight and tea availability!
This organisation relies on volunteers of all ages, some help regularly, others occasionally. There is a welcome for all of you.
The TARKA VALLEY RAILWAY (TVR) is always on the look out for more helping hands - be it site working, administration or Trustees.
If you feel you can help in a specific area, we would love to hear from you, and if you just wish to enjoy the company and banter of a day outside getting slightly messy, drinking copious tea and being engaged in helpful work, please get in touch!
Also:
If you (or someone you know who could get involved) have experience or skills in the fields of fundraising, computer aided design, groundworks, planning, construction, etc. and would like to play a more active part in the running of the railway, do please get in touch for an initial chat. You do not have to be local to get involved - no commitment at this stage! Please come and volunteer - it’s a great project and great fun!
