Ben Curl – Project Apprentice

In March 2024 Ben joined the team as a Project Apprentice to help assist on the National Lottery Heritage Fund project All Hands on the Don.

Ben is the newest addition to our team at the Trust and he is eager to learn more about the Trust’s involvement with the local community, wildlife and future for the Doncaster area.

Prior to joining, Ben studied Work-Based Environmental Conservation at The Sheffield College, which taught him the skills and knowledge that made him a perfect fit for our team. Whilst working at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Ben helped improve visitor engagement by getting visitors of all backgrounds into the art, history and wildlife of the park.

As part of his role at DCRT, he will be using mixed formats to engage the public, with the aim of developing new opportunities for people, to interact and learn about the river’s heritage, work alongside volunteers and help engage and coordinate events and activities.
