• Are you passionate about people?
• Can you lend a hand to support them to recover and move on with their lives?
• Do you love the outdoors, nature and growing food to eat?

For every day session we run at Beck Green Nursery, Egremont, there are up to 15 participants at any given time, supervised by two staff members.

Each session also needs 2 x volunteers to support our staff in this work; sometimes helping individuals with additional needs to participate with the group, sometimes just mucking in to get planting and harvesting done and dusted for our Crop Share veg box customers.

Always being part of an awesome team that works together, achieves amazing things and leaves no one behind.

Full mental health risk and safeguarding training will be provided – no prior experience necessary – and you’ll be supported by a team of professional staff to deliver your role. Plus, PPE, a hot, healthy lunch and all the tea and biscuits you need are included.

If you can spare the time to support those in your community in most need of help, we’d love to hear from you.
