Volunteers
Without the efforts of volunteers the project would not exist. Volunteers contribute in many ways to maintain and develop the beautiful one acre site, rich in local history and ecology.
As volunteers we’re not expected to be experts, we’re people who enjoy carrying out the clearance, planting and maintenance of the site and helping visitors.
Get involved
Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and age from 16 to 70+. Most come along with no experience at all and learn as they go. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, meet people and contribute to your local community.
There is a regular work programme throughout the year, and new volunteers are welcome to join in as and when they have the spare time. You can stay for just an hour or for the whole session.
A variety of tasks are required to be undertaken, from weeding and planting, to heavier tasks such as mowing and digging, and a qualified landscape gardener and horticulturist is on hand to give advice. Tools are provided, all that is required is for volunteers to wear sturdy footwear.
Input is also welcome from any school, organisation or group that is interested in volunteering.
A friendly welcome awaits everyone.
The project team meet fortnightly at the graveyard on Saturdays between 10am and 4pm
