Volunteering at Woodlands

We have many different types of volunteering opportunities at Woodlands, and we are grateful for the contributions of volunteers across the organisation.

We want our volunteers to feel safe, welcome, valued and confident in their roles. Our Volunteer Induction Pack provides information about the support you can expect from us, and what our expectations are of you.

Community Garden Volunteers

Sessions are open to local people who want to help us in keeping the garden as a special place for both people and nature. Previous gardening experience isn't required, so you can come along even if you are new to gardening. We are also looking for some people with DIY skills to help with basic repairs. Volunteering is suitable for adults rather than children.

Often there are more volunteers than there are garden jobs that we can supervise. But if there isn’t enough work for you to do, you are still very welcome to come along to chat and socialise with other people in the garden.

Do not attend the session if you have any symptoms of Covid.

All tools provided. Please dress appropriately for the weather and outdoor working.

Fundraising Volunteers

Do you fancy putting on your own sponsored activity?
Or organising a fundraising event in your college or workplace?
Could you help us in signing up more people as friends of Woodlands Community?
Or do you have links with businesses or corporations who may be able to support us through donations?

With an increasingly uncertain funding climate we are looking to build up our resilience by increasing the funds we can raise through our network of friends, supporters and partners. We need your energy and ideas!
