Apply to volunteer

**COVID-19 Update: we are currently not recruiting any new volunteers in light of the pandemic.**

Anyone can volunteer. It doesn’t matter what your skills, experience or background are, or how much time you have to give.

If you are under 18 we need permission from your parent or guardian before we can take you on as a volunteer.

Before you join us, you will be asked to complete a volunteer application form, meet for an informal chat and provide referees for us to contact.

When you start as a volunteer you will be provided with an induction, any training and equipment you may need to carry out the role and support from a Greensand Trust member of staff.

For further information or a chat about volunteering at any of our site please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Preston on [email protected] or call 01525 234264.

To apply to be a volunteer please fill in this form.
