Places needing Volunteers

Windsor Hill Wood is seeking an Assistant Warden…..Could it be you? Would you enjoy being part of a small, family based, rural Community, living alongside a group of people seeking respite? Are you a good listener and able to respect confidentiality? Would working together to manage a woodland, grow vegetables and raise animals on our domestic-scale farm, as part of this community, bring you joy? If so, are you a mature, pragmatic, practical Christian, looking for a challenging and worthwhile volunteer opportunity? Are you a team worker, flexible, patient and willing to put your own needs aside for the sake of the community, when necessary? Are you available full time to live on site in Shepton Mallet? Or do you live locally and would like to join us part-time? Could you commit twelve months to this project? If any part (or all) of this sounds like you, then contact the Chair of Trustees of Windsor Hill Wood for more information: rennygye@gmail.com . Please explain why you are interested in the position and tell us about your background and experience and include a CV if possible.
