BTCV London

Kings Cross - The heart of an urban concrete jungle, but also home to the London operation of the UK's largest practical conservation charity.
In the last 12 months BTCV motivated and supported 12,750 volunteers to complete 21,772 days working to improve and protect or enagge with 272 green spaces right across the capital. And our impact keeps growing.
Everyone is welcome to volunteer with BTCV, regardless of age, experience or background, and while working outdoors is good for your physical and mental health it also gives you a chance to meet new friends, learn new skills, help the environment and benefit the local community.
All of our projects have a community focus, our aim being to inspire people to improve places and fulfil their own potential. Whether you just enjoy the great outdoors, want to do something worthwhile in your spare time, or gain skills and experience for a new career we can provide the opportunities.
