Volunteer with us
Volunteer with us
St Paul’s depends on the skill and dedication of our great volunteers. They help with visitors and behind the scenes, in teams or independently.
We welcome volunteers from any age group, background, of all faiths and none – and offer a wide range of opportunities in and around the Cathedral.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering with us gives you the opportunity to discover more about our Cathedral, get close to a unique and nationally important collection, spend time in a magnificent building in the heart of the City of London, make friends, and develop your skills.
As a volunteer, you will also receive:
- discounts in our shop and café
- free entry tickets for friends and family
- opportunity for tickets to Cathedral events and services.
I love coming to the Cathedral, making a contribution by taking part in services, which I find a truly uplifting experience. If you’re thinking of becoming a volunteer, don’t be shy! St Paul’s is an extraordinary, welcoming place and I feel sure that you will find the experience of volunteering deeply fulfilling.
Our roles
All our volunteers play a vital role in delivering our mission and purpose.
Those who join us as volunteers will have a positive approach and ability to communicate with the diverse group of visitors and worshippers who step across our threshold. For more information on what we ask our volunteers to commit to, see our volunteer agreement.
