Places needing Volunteers

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.

Lothlorien (Rokpa Trust) is a Buddhist influenced therapeutic community for people with mental health problems. Quiet rural setting in SW Scotland. Daily activities include organic gardening, relaxation, artwork, etc. We are seeking full time live-in volunteers who can commit for a minimum of six months. Generous living and travel expenses, accommodation and full board provided. See our website for further details & application form.

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.

Stop Press: March 2020: We have cancelled all wwoofing until further notice. We host volunteers for two week periods from April through to October each year when we close down for the winter. We have set aside spaces for up to a maximum of four volunteers at any one time during this period. We set aside spaces for a maximum of two families during the volunteer season. Our family quota for the 2020 season is already full and so if you are a family then please try somewhere else. Applications for 2020 are now open. Please visit our website and email: volunteers@oldhall.org.uk telling us a bit about yourself and your reasons for wanting to visit our community. We will send you further information. Have fun planning your year. Do not leave it to the last minute - we get booked up. Thank you.

We are always looking for 2-week volunteers to help in the House, Kitchen, Garden and Grounds. Please email volunteer@monktonwyldcourt.org with the dates you'd be interested in volunteering (arriving on a Monday and leaving on Monday) -- letting us know any particular skills you have to share. Thank you! We're also looking for long term volunteers to help in the house and kitchen during our busy period.

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.

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