Volunteering at River Garden

At present, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our volunteer programme is currently on hold and no volunteers are  working on site.

We are  following government  and scientific advice and working on how we can  reopen the volunteer programme and  project overall. Please check back later here or on our social media for updates on the volunteer programme. 
​
We  appreciate all the help we are offered and that your time is very valuable. That’s why we offer a range of ways to volunteer. Its also true that some roles are best filled by regular volunteers, and some are more  on a ‘as needed’ basis. The best way to decide what works best for us both is to have a face-to-face chat about your skills, availability, and the projects we are currently working on- or would like to be working on!

Get in touch, fill an initial application form (not as scary as it sounds, we promise) and we will arrange an initial meeting. We would love to hear from you! Below are some examples of the type of volunteering opportunities we've  offered in the past. If you have a skill you'd like to volunteer or for more information regarding volunteering in general then just get in touch via our contact page or our social media.
