Volunteers are at the very heart of everything we do and achieve at DOP. In 2015 alone, almost 150 volunteers donated 12,000 hours. That's huge!
Whilst true, most of our volunteers perform People Engagement roles - helping visitors get the best from their visit to DOP, there are many other roles that are vital to the day-to-day operation of the project.
