Our volunteers are a diverse group of individuals dedicated to promoting and preserving the heritage and engineering excellence of Rolls-Royce.

Here at the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust we simply could not continue to operate without the help and enthusiasm of our many volunteers. We value the contribution in time, effort and inspiration that you bring to the many activities associated with the Trust and its exhibits.
