SUMMARY:Historical research volunteer drop-in
DESCRIPTION:The monthly indoor historical research volunteer drop-in days at our Stanhope Office build on our historical research/field recording work and gives volunteers the opportunity to develop their skills further. \nStaff will be on hand to offer guidance on resources\, answer questions\, and help you work through any challenges and supply much needed tea and biscuits. \nHistorical research volunteers\nFor volunteers working on historical research projects (such as Unlocking the Asylum Archives and Caldwell Harpur: Diaries of a Crank) these monthly research meetings are an excellent opportunity to meet others working on the same project to share exciting research findings\, explore emerging themes\, and work on any tricky transcriptions together. \nPhotogrammetry and archaeology volunteers\nPhotogrammetry volunteers can process the photographs collected on site to create detailed photogrammetry models\, exploring how digital techniques can enhance our understanding of historic landscapes. Volunteers will also work with a range of sources\, including written accounts\, LiDAR data and QGIS mapping\, to place the recorded lead mining sites in their wider historical context. Our findings will be added to Historic England’s Missing Pieces project\, helping to expand and enrich the national record. \nNo previous experience is needed; these sessions are designed to support beginners while offering plenty of scope for those wishing to grow their research and digital heritage skills. You do not need to have attended the associated site day to join us for these indoor work sessions.\nRefreshments are provided throughout the day but please bring a lunch if needed. If you want to bring equipment with you\, you are welcome to\, but we will also have some equipment available for you to use. \nDates for 2026 – all at Stanhope are drop in sessions from 10am to 4pm: \n• Friday 1st May\n• Friday 5th June\n• Friday 3rd July\n• Friday 7th August\n• Friday 2nd October\n• Friday 30th October\n• Friday 4th  December\n• Friday 18th December) \nPlease sign up using the Better Impact volunteer system \n  \n

SUMMARY:Recording the mining landscape - outdoor day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a practical volunteer day outdoors learning how to monitor and record the condition of historic mining sites in the North Pennines. \nLocated in the Allenheads Heritage Centre on Thursday 15 October\, 10am to 3pm\, the day will be split into two parts\, combining condition recording with heritage photography to help build consistent records for the Land of Lead and Silver project. \nMorning: learn how to assess and record the condition of historic mining remains using a simple recording form. We will look at structural movement\, vegetation\, erosion\, water damage and masonry loss. \nAfternoon: use your own camera or mobile phone to create a consistent photographic record to support your condition report\, including repeatable viewpoints\, overall and detail photographs\, captions and linking images to written observations. \nThis is not a photogrammetry session or about creating 3D models. Instead\, it focuses on straightforward photographic recording that can be repeated over time to monitor changes in the condition of historic mining sites. \nNo previous experience is required. Suitable for 18+ only. Refreshments will be provided. Please bring a packed lunch. \nPlease contact us if you have any accessibility requirements. \nSign up using the volunteer system Better Impact. \n  \n  \n   \n

SUMMARY:Volunteer opportunity to remove invasive Garden Lady’s-mantle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a practical day to help dig up and remove invasive garden Lady’s-mantle (Alchemilla mollis) from an area around an Upper Teesdale beck on Thursday 22 October\, 10am to 3.30pm. \nThis area of Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines National Landscape is especially important for the population of rare native plants that are found there. If the Garden Lady’s-mantle is left to set seed\, there is a risk of it spreading to further sites and possibly out-competing and replacing the important native plant communities. \nThis activity requires a good level of fitness as well as the ability to navigate uneven terrain. Training will be given on the morning of the event. Please bring packed lunch\, and any other refreshments. Please wear outdoor clothing and bring waterproofs\, and wear boots with a sturdy sole. \nExact location will be sent 48 hours prior to the event. Suitable for ages 18+. \nVolunteer opportunities may be postponed due to weather conditions\, any changes will be communicated at least 24 hours before the event where possible. \nDelivered in partnership with Tees Rivers Trust. \nPlease sign up using the Better Impact volunteer platform. \n \n  \n
