Who runs Tudor House?

The house is run by a group of volunteers who set up a charity called Worcester Heritage & Amenity Trust Limited. W.H.A.T is dedicated to keeping open public access to Tudor House for Worcester's citizens and visitors.

W.H.A.T. aims to generate funds and interest

• Welcoming visitors from the city and beyond
• Developing links with local schools, colleges and other educational establishments
• Developing resources that trace the history and industrial heritage of the City of Worcester
• Researching the social and economic history connected with Tudor House
• Supporting local craft workers
• Selling refreshments and gifts to the patrons of Tudor House

Volunteers

Tudor House is run solely by volunteers. These people fall broadly into three categories:

• People willing to work front of house on a regular basis as guides or in the coffee shop serving or cleaning
• People working behind the scenes developing displays, researching historical content or producing displays
• People with areas of expertise such as audio visual and website design.

Volunteers are invited to regular training days, evening social ‘meet and discuss’ sessions and trips to other historical heritage attractions. Specific induction training is mandatory

A code of conduct and instruction manual is issued to each volunteer stressing the need for professional standards albeit within an amateur organisation.
