🌱 We’re looking for volunteers to join our Gardening & Allotment team at The Centre for Ecotherapy Stanmer Park, Brighton

If you love being outdoors, getting your hands in the soil, or learning how to grow food, this is a beautiful way to spend time in nature while supporting community wellbeing.

Here’s what one of our volunteers shared:

“Watching the natural world change through the seasons has been wonderful… Everyone brings something different, and I’ve learnt so much. You don’t need to know anything — just be open to learning and being part of a team.”

You don’t need gardening experience — just curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to work alongside others.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Drop us an email: [email protected] or call 07517090915 🌿💚
