Young people in Bradford are being urged to volunteer this summer to help preserve Britain’s architectural heritage.

Community Service Volunteers (CSV) wants youngsters to join a Heritage Camp and help preserve or restore a famous cathedral, church or historic building.

The camps take place every year during July and August at various locations across the UK. Each camp is led by two experienced volunteer team leaders, who are also part of the team.

Volunteers should be between 16 and 25. Activities may include maintaining, cleaning and helping to conserve the historic buildings and their grounds.

There may also a chance to restore monuments and statues, re-lay stone pathways, and maintain ornamental woodwork and brass.
