Tuesday Day Visits: community volunteering with ‘Growing Solidarity’
On Tuesdays, we run our community outreach project, Growing Solidarity. If you’d like to take part and support people who face barriers to accessing or engaging with in the natural world, we’d love to hear from you. From gardening to woodwork, cooking to crafts, activities are varied and there’s plenty of space for you to bring your own ideas! In order to make the Growing Solidarity project nourishing and empowering, we provide basic training to our volunteers.
We aim for this day to be as inclusive and accessible, let us know if you need guidance or support getting to the farm.
Short Stay
If you live a bit further afield, you might like to swing by and stay over for a few days!?
We are limited on accommodation so in the winter, you might be best advised to come only if you like cold-camping or have a live-in van as an option to stay. In the summer, camping is beautiful here. As a visitor volunteer you can get stuck into our flow and get involved with other happenings in the co-operative, from helping make products to painting signs, and anything in between!
