The Knitting & Crochet Guild is run solely by volunteers and it takes an army of people to ensure the smooth running of it all.
If you’d like to help, in any capacity, we’d like to hear from you! There are a variety of roles to choose from to suit your availability and lifestyle. Please use the contact form to contact the Chair.
We know that there are a number of reasons why people volunteer too, so if you’re looking for a short term role, something you can do from home, to learn a skill or share your expertise, let us know by using the contact form to contact our Chair. We often have upcoming roles or things we’re working on that we might be able to offer you.
You must be a member of the Knitting & Crochet Guild to take on any of these roles.
Recruiting Local Yarn Stores
We’re looking to expand our network of local yarn stores (LYS) and we need volunteers to contact stores and introduce the Guild. It’s all done online by email, so you can be based anywhere and do as much as you’re able at times that suit you. If you’re interested in helping, please contact Amalia at amalia.liguori@kcguild.org.uk.

Company Secretary
We are urgently looking for an organised and efficient administrator to join the Board of the Knitting & Crochet Guild as our Secretary, keeping the Board accountable and overseeing all company secretarial tasks.
The time commitment for this role is around 15 hours per month (some weeks will be busier than others), working from home, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in project working groups too. You will need to be available for monthly Board meetings (usually about an hour long and held via Zoom).
As the Guild is both a registered charity and a limited company, you will be required to become both a Trustee and a Director.

Collections Team
Volunteers are always welcome to help with our Collection. It is a great way to see parts of the Collection close up and to handle the items that would not normally be accessible in a museum or gallery context.
You can find out more about what volunteers do on the Collection Team volunteering page.
