Is it for me... who can volunteer?
No experience is necessary as all the projects are suitable for first time volunteers.
Projects are run by experienced leaders who as well as explaining how to safely use any hand tools required, will also teach you any necessary skills.You work at your own pace so don't worry if you're not super fit.
If you are aged 16-18 you may volunteer with written permission from a parent or guardian and there is no upper age limit!

What would I do and where?
In Richmond we are lucky to have some of the most beautiful sites in London.
So if you come out on project with us you may end up chopping down rhododendrons in the middle of Richmond park, planting trees along the towpath, or constructing benches at the Leg O'Mutton reservoir.
When would I volunteer?
You're spoilt for choice, as we generally work every Wednesday, Thursday and on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. Check out the task programme or give us a tinkle in the office.
We aim to be on site for 10.30am and start clearing up at around 4pm. You may either come into the office first or make your way directly to the site.
