Volunteer at Ely Cathedral

Thank you for your interest in our volunteer programme. We are delighted you have taken the time to visit our website. Behind this magnificent building is a vibrant and dedicated community of individuals who work tirelessly to serve the city and its surrounding areas. Without their commitment, we simply couldn’t open our doors.

Why volunteer?

• To be involved in a local community.
• Because you love the beauty and awe of the building, its history and architecture.
• To use and perfect your existing skills as well as enhance your CV and learn new ones.
• An opportunity to meet people and make new friends.
• To serve the Cathedral as an extension of your faith.

We require our volunteers to be:

• Open minded and friendly.
• Approachable and confident at engaging with others.

We believe that diversity strengthens and enriches us, and are committed to Ely Cathedral playing our part in making the Church of England more diverse and more equal.
