Garden/Maintenance volunteers

REF: 6a71fc10c2d82

Every Mondays 12:00-16:00 & Thursday 10:00-16:00. The community garden is a locally led space where community growers work together to grow delicious veg all year round. We also have wheel-chair access, toilets and raised beds.

Once a month, on a Saturday, we also host a full volunteer day for a more intense day of working the land, helping our commercial growing site keep going. Tasks involve tidying and bed preparation, woodwork, harvesting, and general weeding. We provide lunch & hot drinks. If it's your first time on site, you'll be offered a tour where you’ll get to see how the site transforms between the seasons and learn more about how we can grow on a sustainable level.
Please get in touch if any of these options suit you.

Role

- No need to have any gardening experience
- We have a range of tasks to suit all abilities
- We recommend that you wear/bring appropriate clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and wear good sturdy footwear

The Kindling Trust

Organisation description:

Since 2007, we’ve been working with communities, farmers, health providers, activists and policymakers to challenge and subvert the industrial food system, a system which fuels the crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and economic inequity. We co-ordinate The Woodbank Community Food Hub, a thriving urban horticulture hub in Stockport blending community growing projects and commercial organic veg production. It’s the size of one and a half football pitches, and includes several large polytunnels for under-cover veg growing.
