OUR TEAM
Clifton House is managed by a small, dedicated team ensuring that the history and heritage of the house is preserved and promoted.
OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are vital for the delivery of our many tours and talks that Clifton House offers throughout the year. Over the last two years, we have invested in White Badge Accreditation for our volunteers. This has allowed us to offer a culturally rich and informative experience for those visiting Clifton House, putting us on a power with some famous London landmarks like Tower Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral. Volunteers themselves have learnt a great deal about the history and heritage of North Belfast, and have grown in confidence in being a tour guide for the cities oldest working building.
Our volunteers have also helped us deliver of some of our ongoing projects, including supporting events as part of the North Belfast Heritage Cluster, and Great Place North Belfast.
