Volunteering at the MWT Ayres Nature Discovery Centre is a great way to support Manx Wildlife Trust while connecting people with one of the Island’s most unique landscapes.
Located within the Ayres National Nature Reserve, the centre helps visitors understand this special coastal environment, from sand dunes to rare lichen heath, through displays, a short film and information about local wildlife and habitats.
Volunteers play a key role in welcoming visitors, answering questions, supporting small retail sales and helping keep the centre tidy and inviting. It is a friendly, visitor-facing role that offers valuable experience in public engagement, the chance to meet new people, and an opportunity to learn more about Manx wildlife and conservation.
No prior experience is needed - just a welcoming attitude, reliability, and a willingness to use a card reader and talk to visitors about the site.
Opening dates for the MWT Ayres Nature Discovery Centre:
2nd May 2026 to 13th September 2026.
Opening hours: 1-4pm daily, usually arranged in shifts.
