All tools and safety equipment are provided.
Please bring a packed lunch and a drink, and either sunscreen and hats, or waterproofs, wellies, boots or jumpers depending on the weather.

Volunteering for Fun

We also have many volunteers who come regularly to Offshoots. We have a weekly volunteer day on a Wednesday where people can get involved and meet other volunteers. However, people can give as much time as they wish, from one afternoon a week to everyday.

If you are interested in gardening, renewable energy, composting or any of the other projects and would like to give some of your time, skills and enthusiasm, please contact us and we can make the arrangements.
