Volunteer with Earth Trust
Volunteers are an invaluable part of the Earth Trust community of changemakers. They carry out much of our vital work to champion accessible natural green spaces. We simply would not be able to get by without them!
*New* We have just launched a dedicated series of roles for young volunteers from ages 13 to 18. Find out more: Young Volunteers Programme
As an Earth Trust volunteer, you’ll be part of a dedicated team, passionate about making a difference to sustainability, biodiversity and wellbeing using the power of natural green spaces.
Make a difference
Whether it’s gaining experience or putting an old skill into practice, meeting new people or doing something for the local community, there are a myriad of motivations for becoming an Earth Trust volunteer.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and we provide flexible opportunities across the whole organisation, from caring for our green spaces, lending a hand at events, or talking about our work in the community. If you have some time spare, join our community to make a difference for people and planet.
Something for everyone: find a role that suits you
If you’re interested in volunteering with a company scheme please take a look at our Corporate Partners page for more info.
Be outdoors
If being outdoors is your thing, you could play a vital role in the management of our green spaces. We’re out in every season, whatever the weather – from coppicing in the autumn to scything in the summer, from maintaining the gardens at our HQ to carrying out wildlife surveys. Take a look at these roles here…
Cosy inside
The hub for all our activity is the Earth Trust Centre. It’s a busy place and many of our teams need help with a range of admin tasks to support their work. So, if you like to be cosy inside – with us in the office, or remotely from your own home – these roles might be of interest to you…
Meet and greet
We have a diverse public programme of events and learning activities to engage and inspire people of all ages with the power of natural green spaces. If you love meeting people, we have some flexible and varied roles here that you might be interested in…
It’s very satisfying and rewarding being involved in maintaining local green spaces. There are opportunities to not only learn new skills, but to actually use them for real too.
