Volunteer with us

We offer opportunities for people from all walks of life to help restore the Sharpness Branch line. It's a great way to learn lots of new skills or develop existing ones in a fun, friendly and enjoyable environment.

With Phase 1 now underway, we need an increasing number of volunteers to help with all of the different aspects of the heritage project.  We are especially keen to welcome members from the local community and encourage them to join us.  To volunteer you need to join as a member.
