Suffolk’s County Council
Archaeological Service employs a full time Outreach Officer to work
in the community promoting the county’s heritage and developing
links with organisations such as schools, youth organisations and
community groups.
We provide exciting and challenging educational work that will
inspire young people of all ages and abilities. Click here
for more information about a
visit to your school. Our
woodland centre also offers young people from schools and youth
groups the chance to experience living in the past either as a
day visit or as a longer residential stay,
please follow the link for more information.
Our teachers’ resource link offers you free downloadable pages to
support history studies in the classroom and includes lesson plans
and photographs of artefacts.
We are also happy to discuss individual projects to suit schools
requirements. For more information about the services we offer and
our charges please contact our Outreach Officer Duncan Allan on the
details above.
Volunteering Opportunities
Opportunities for volunteering on archaeological excavations as
part of work experience are extremely limited owing to Health and
Safety 'passports' required by most building contractors.
There are opportunities for adults aged 18+ to
volunteer at our woodland centre. We also
run various projects for young people aged 14-21. For more
information on current projects please contact our Outreach
Officer Duncan Allan on the details above.
