GreenFingers Volunteer

GreenFingers volunteers enjoy meeting new people whilst working outdoors, carrying out various park maintenance tasks like community gardening. Our focus is on nature conservation; much of what we do has a positive impact on the park’s wildlife and the local community’s wellbeing. No prior knowledge is required. We meet regularly at many of our parks.

Community Cafe Volunteer

Our nature-based cafés at Winton Recreation Ground, Redhill Park, and Boscombe Chine Gardens are community hubs for a variety of activities encouraging people to use their local park more. If you’d like to gain practical experience in the catering industry and be part of a community project, we’ll provide full training on the job.

You’ll be meeting our café customers and other volunteers, serving food and drinks, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and ensuring adherence to Health & Safety and food hygiene standards.

Kingfisher Barn volunteer

Kingfisher Barn Visitor Centre

We’re recruiting volunteers to help us run our Visitor Centre on the Stour Valley Nature Reserve. This may be helping to maintain our beautiful garden, welcoming visitors to the centre, helping with our small cafe or supporting our rangers with some of the fabulous events they put on for children and adults.

You’ll be meeting new people and talking about our fantastic nature reserve while learning new skills and supporting an amazing cause.
