Read the new Bradford and District VOLUNTEER SURVEY here.

This survey collates a summary of key findings from the first two years of our volunteer programme at Bradford District Museums and Galleries (BDMG) 2021-2023.

BDMG is collecting volunteers’ thoughts about their experiences of volunteering at our four museums.

Answers were confidential. Honesty was appreciated!

All Volunteer Roles include expense reimbursement

We want to make sure our volunteers receive the support they need and that they know their contribution is appreciated! Find out more about vHelp, our expense management system, and how it’s benefitted our volunteers, here.

Our volunteer manager, Sonja, says: ‘They (volunteers) are sitting together over cups of tea and saying, ‘Look it goes straight into the bank account’. It is great for them, especially now with the rise in petrol prices and some of our volunteers driving quite a long way to get to their site, they are confident that they can claim expenses, get reimbursed quickly and continue volunteering.’  

Read about the success story of our BDMG volunteers in a recent Museums Journal article.

Earn Citizen Coins for volunteering

The Citizen Coin scheme aims to recognise and reward people for doing social good. This can be when people take part in doing things to help others by volunteering or by getting involved in civic activities to make Bradford District a great place for everyone.
People can earn digital discount coins via a mobile app when undertaking social value activities, such as volunteering. They can then use the coins to get discounts on goods and services at participating retailers. Those earning coins can also opt to donate their coins to other people and organisations. The app records activity undertaken to earn the coin, and produces data reports for the programme, individuals and organisations that are participating in the scheme.

The app is free and does not cost anyone anything!

Download Citizen Coin app from the App Store, Google Play, visit the website or email hello@bradford.citizencoin.uk.
Watch a short video showing how the scheme works.
