Trelay
We ask volunteers to work 4 hours a day, and charge a basic rate of £7 per day (or £49 per week with 2 days off), in return for a bed, communal evening meal and self-serve breakfast and lunch. You may be allocated a bed in a caravan or in our camping barn, which provides comfortable mattresses with privacy screens. There is varied work here depending on the weather and time of year, ranging from caring for the veggie patch and animals, to painting and decorating, building work, and site clearance. You can join in fun community activities, too.
We offer a week’s stay to start with, followed by a review; if all goes well and you wish to stay longer, we may extend this to a month. (Your time working with us will be limited to a month unless you wish to join our community.)
We encourage you to come by public transport, and can offer lifts from Bude, our nearest small town; ask us about buses to Bude. Exeter is our nearest train station.
For further information or to book, please contact Margot on margot.oakenby@gmail.com or leave a message on 01840 230 423
