Volunteer with us
Got a passion for craft? Love to sort things into order? Looking for a way to contribute to a more sustainable world?
We welcome volunteers who share our passion for sustainability and creativity – no experience necessary.
It’s the perfect role for you if you enjoy creating order from chaos and chatting about crafts, or if you love to share your skills and enthusiasm with adults and children at our workshops.
We also have a role for volunteers who love being out on the road, picking up lovely donations from local businesses.
Volunteering is a great way to make new friends, have fun, and contribute to your community. We offer flexible opportunities, a supportive environment, and a rewarding experience.
Volunteering provides great personal benefits and potential career development, such as team-working skills, increased confidence, problem-solving experience, and the opportunity to meet and communicate with new and different people.
