Yes, of course, it is. We can take anybody from the age of fourteen right the way into late adulthood. Many of our volunteers are retired, but the younger generation has supported the volunteering effort to advance their life skills over the years.

We are fortunate to have many exciting volunteering roles on offer, catering for a diverse range of abilities, skills and strengths. 

Roles include museum stewardship, education support, model railway operating, restoration volunteer and fundraising assistance. 

Do come and visit us face-to-face if you are interested in supporting us. We will then direct you to fill in an ‘Expressions of Interest Form’ to be processed centrally at Minehead Station. 

Alternatively, email volunteers@wsrail.net. 

We are committed to ensuring ‘Trackers’, the young volunteer’ scheme, are safe and surrounded in a well-established environment whilst undertaking any form of volunteering. The Trust and the wider WSR is heavily compliant with GDPR, safeguarding and DBS requirements. Please contact us if you require more information on this.

We are passionately supportive of understanding each person and work commitments. The majority of our volunteers are retired and help on any day they can, whereas others are students or work full-time jobs and are only available during school holidays and weekends. Discuss with us more if unsure.
