Volunteers founded the rspb in 1869 and today they are still at the heart of our work.

In the Summer, over 400,000 seabirds make the 350ft high cliffs their home. During the Autumn we are perfectly placed to receive an influx of migratory birds. When Winter comes we have some of the best bracing cliff top walks and seascapes in Yorkshire, or you could watch the weather go by from the warmth of the Seabird Centre.

Whether you’re interested in spending a day a week on one of our viewpoints helping visitors learn about our fascinating seabirds, or lending a hand in our brand new Seabird Centre, or even inspiring the next generation and assisting with school field trips. No matter what you choose to do or how much time you’re able to give, you’ll be helping our work for wildlife and the environment. The RSPB has over 13,000 volunteers from all walks of life. You’ll meet new people, learn valuable skills and, above all, have fun doing it – but don’t just take our word for it...

Steve Rose, Guided walks volunteer and Live Seabird Interpreter volunteer: “The main thing I enjoy from volunteering at Bempton Cliffs is taking first time visitors down to the cliffs and seeing their reactions to the views and countless seabirds wheeling around, you know that they are seeing something special and that you are part of it.”
