There are three aspects of the Globe's work that are currently staffed by volunteers: the Friends Desk, the Gift Aid Scheme, and the Stewards.

Friends Desk Volunteers

The Friends Desk in the Globe's main foyer is staffed by a team of volunteers. They liaise with visitors who wish to enrol in the Globe’s range of giving programmes. Last year our volunteers raised close to £50,000 to further the work of the Shakespeare Globe Trust.

Please note that at this moment we have no vacancies for Friends desk volunteers. However we do have vacancies for Gift Aid Volunteers

Gift Aid Volunteers

The Shakespeare Globe Trust is an educational charity which receives no annual Government subsidy. To develop the activities of The Globe, we are now asking visitors at the Exhibition entrance to make their admission price a donation. This way, we can claim back 28p for every pound visitors give. To make this new project a success, we are currently looking for volunteers who want to help us telling visitors about the Gift Aid Scheme at the Exhibition entrance.

Daytime shifts are 10am-1pm and 1pm-4pm. At this moment, we are especially looking for volunteers that can come in at weekends, but there are also some weekdays that need to be staffed. If you can volunteer for a minimum of two mornings or afternoons per month (or more frequently) then please consider becoming a Gift Aid volunteer.
