Places needing Volunteers

Volunteers needed for permaculture based self-sufficiency

We take volunteers via Helpx and Wwoof from spring to autumn. Please contact our volunteer coordinator for further information: wwoof@canonfromecourt.org.uk

Can you help us grow veg? Reclaim waste food from supermarkets and wholesalers? Put mud on the walls of our straw bale house? Fix bikes? Welcome visitors with a tour and a tea? Take creative direct action to prevent climate crimes? Or just make another squat pot of lentil and veg soup? Don’t worry if you haven’t got a lot of experience - we all started off just wanting to learn.

We have a volunteer week most months for people to come along and meet us, work with us and find out a bit about Brithdir. The volunteer weeks for 2020 are: 18th Jan, 22nd Feb, 28th March, 2nd May, 6th June, 11th July, 15th Aug, 19th Sept and 24th Oct ( They run from Saturday to Saturday) We often have many more enquiries for placements than we can accommodate, so please book ASAP in order to avoid disappointment :)

We enjoy when Wwoofers visit us in Glastonbury Somerset, work can vary from household chores to gardening to light maintenance work, 4 hours per day nominally. Please get in touch if you are interested.

Self-sufficient couples and single folk are welcome to ask if they can volunteer time and skills in return for whatever might be mutually agreed.
