About the Origin Stories project

Selby Abbey: The Origin Stories is a transformational £1.5 million initiative funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Running from June 2025 to October 2027, the project will secure the future of our Grade I listed Abbey through vital restoration and a wide-reaching public engagement programme.

The opportunity

Key to the successful delivery of the Origin Stories project will be the expansion of the Abbey’s volunteer team to support future operations and sustainability. The Abbey has a long tradition of volunteering, with a strong and dedicated team of around 100 volunteers undertaking a wide range of activities. This is an opportunity for the successful applicant to attract and recruit new volunteers, to work with an established team to develop its skills, and to introduce new working processes for effective volunteer management.
