We have over 40 passionate, knowledgeable and committed volunteers at the museum. They are the back bone of our organisation without whom we would not be able to exist. They help to tell the stories of our ancestors, create high-quality, memorable experiences for our visitors and help in countless other ways with the conservation, restoration and preservation of treasures and tales.

There are plenty of ways to get involved, whatever your skills or passions. If you are interested in joining our community of volunteers, please contact us at manager@westernbaymuseum.nz or on 07 549 0651.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have dedicated local sponsors, funders, and donors that have helped us to build strong connections within our local community and allowed us to flourish as an organisation. We see sponsors as part of our museum family and we are proud of the personal relationships we have with those who support us. We are grateful to them not only for their financial support but for their endorsement, advocacy, and encouragement.
