Volunteering

Our wonderful volunteers support us in all kinds of ways.

Many serve on one of our six District Committees, working tirelessly to ensure that planning proposals submitted to local authorities align with our values. Others share specialist expertise, help at events, run our stand at local fairs, support our fundraising activities, or lend a hand with essential administration.

A number of volunteers also take part in our Hedgerow Heroes Project, planting and restoring hedgerows across Gloucestershire to nurture nature and strengthen our countryside.

Every single volunteer makes a meaningful difference to the places we all care so deeply about — and we value their contribution enormously.

What do we offer?

We believe we’re a great charity to give your time to — and we want you to get as much out of volunteering as we do. Here’s what you can expect:

• The chance to use your skills and experience to help our charity thrive and make a positive impact on the countryside.
• Opportunities to meet like-minded people and feel part of a supportive team.
• A boost to your CV through developing new skills and gaining valuable experience.
• Ongoing support and relevant training to help you grow in your role.
• A reference for future employment or volunteering opportunities.
• The opportunity to attend our national online volunteering sessions.

Volunteering commitments

We want you to have an excellent volunteering experience with us. To help make that possible, we’ve set out the commitments we make to our volunteers — and what we ask in return.
