Would you like to Volunteer?
Shipley mill is run entirely by volunteers– The Friends of Shipley Windmill.

The Friends are always on the lookout for more people prepared to give up an occasional Sunday or Bank Holiday afternoon to help open the mill to visitors.  We need volunteers to take the money and sell souvenirs at the desk, as well as people who will act as guides on the various floors of the mill. 

Don’t be afraid that you don’t know enough about the mill –  training will be given, together with a briefing sheet about each floor.  

We also need volunteers to help with the further restoration and the maintenance of the building, and to carry out such tasks as cleaning and painting, as well as repairs to the structure and restoration of the machinery.
Some jobs, like making and painting smaller parts, can be done by volunteers in their own home or workshop.

Many of the tasks are relatively unskilled, and we have a small group of mainly retired members who work on the timber structure on Wednesdays each week. You would be welcome to join this group if you would like to give a hand, as we are always short of helpers.

Please Email or telephone David or Gill French, 01403 730439 if you would like to help.
