​Ripon Museums Trust – Wellbeing Consultancy

Ripon Museums Trust is comprised of 3 Museums in Ripon, West Yorkshire. With an impressive volunteer staff force the Museum sought to capture the impact that volunteering has on the wellbeing of local people who volunteer with the Trust, and beyond. Simultaneously they sought to measure the impact of the pandemic on volunteer wellbeing, and the current state of their paid staff's wellbeing.
