Individuals

We regularly need help in a variety of ways including constructing or maintaining community gardens and planting fruit and vegetables. These sessions are outdoors, good fun and great exercise. If this sort of hands-on work interests you we can add you to our pool of volunteers and contact you when we need some help.

We try hard to make sure that volunteers come from all types of backgrounds and life experiences. The time, expertise, knowledge and skills that you give will help to change Manchester for the better.

We know many people who, through volunteering, have gained experience, learned new skills, met new friends and developed new interests.

We occasionally recruit longer-term volunteers to support behind the scenes in the office. This role involves a range of tasks from practical help as listed above, to helping us out with project administration. Our Project Assistant Volunteer position is ideal for people that want to gain experience of the environmental/ sustainable food sector.
