Volunteering in Essex

To get involved with one of our day projects, all you need to do is book a place and turn up - with suitable clothing, footwear, lunch and enthusiasm!

Transport is provided at 10am from Britannia Car Park (behind Colchester Town Train Station) on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Sundays, and returning at 4pm. If you can arrange your own transport to and from the site, you are welcome to join us there.

In Chelmsford, we meet on Fridays, pickup 10am from Chelmsford Train Station (Victoria Road entrance), and again returning at 4pm.

Trained leaders provide all the necessary tools and guidance, from complete beginners to those with more experience. We even provide hot drinks and biscuits!

Tasks will be varied in nature depending on the location and time of year. It's an ideal way to make new friends, learn new skills and feel you are giving something back to the community.

To book . . .

Call in to the office or telephone 01206 764470. Answer machine message bookings will be accepted (leave a number so we can confirm your place), but we will not allocate places on the basis of e-mail requests.

People who have not booked, but turn up at the meeting point or on site on the day, will be allocated a place on a first come first served basis, subject to space being available.
