Volunteering

Volunteering is a fantastic and flexible way to support your local park, meet new people and gain new skills. Our volunteers have given more than 4000 hours to this project which is an amazing achievement. We are grateful to each and everyone for their time and send our thanks to all members of the volunteer family. 

There are many benefits to volunteering, as shown in the list below.

Connecting you to others

Volunteering increase your social and relationship skills. It also connects you to your community and you can make new friends and contacts.

Good for your body and mind

Volunteering helps you to stay physically active. It can help counteract the effects of stress and anxiety, whilst also increasing your self-confidence.

Enhance your CV

Volunteering provides you with valuable, transferrable job skills. It can help further develop existing specialist skills and helps you gain experience for your career.

Fun and fulfilment

Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore new interests. It creates more time for your hobbies out of work, and provides new opportunities to develop creative and practical skills.
