Join Nature’s Haven

We run volunteer sessions on

​

  • Thursdays 4-6pm

  • Saturdays 10am-12noon

 

No gardening experience is required.

 

Volunteer taster sessions

 

​If you would like to volunteer at Nature’s Haven why not join a volunteer taster session where you will be able to find out more about our work, take a tour of the garden and meet current volunteers. 

 

Corporate volunteering 

 

​There are many ways to get your company involved with the work we do at Nature’s Haven, either through donations, volunteering, community group of the year or long-term partnerships.

 

We run corporate volunteering days with aim of providing our corporate volunteers with a fun and rewarding day in the fresh air, with the opportunity to work hands-on in our beautiful garden.

Our approach is person centred, fun and friendly.  You learn about Nature’s Haven and see with your own eyes the great work we do within our community.

​

During our corporate volunteering days, you would get to experience a great team-building opportunity, whilst supporting your local community group and making a positive difference to the lives of people living with disabilities, wellness and health issues. Your team would also get to explore the many benefits of gardening and its effects on well-being and mental health.

​

​What volunteering gives you:

​

  • A truly active way to show how your organisation plays a positive and responsible part in helping your local community.

  • A day in our healing garden gives your employees opportunities to work collaboratively in a setting outside of the home office or main office; building new relationships and understandings.  We are happy for you to share the results publicly for any PR purposes.

  • Crucially, no previous experience is required.  All sessions are supervised, with a health and safety briefing given before you get stuck in.  We make sure everyone is fully involved with either some of the more heavy-duty tasks such as clearing borders and building raised beds or more peaceful activities such as planting or weeding. 

  • Whatever tasks you get involved in; our primary aim is that you have fun in a positive environment.  Hopefully our healing garden will help soothe you as well and you come away with some great ideas for your own garden, balcony or windowsill. 

  • We will end the day with a good old cuppa and a slice of cake.

  • Your help is invaluable.  The work carried out by our CSR groups makes a huge difference to Nature’s Haven, as there are many jobs that are just too time consuming or complex for our volunteer gardeners to carry out.

  • There are no charges for our Corporate Volunteering days.  All we ask is that you bring your own lunch and refreshments, gardening gloves,  wear sturdy shoes and weather appropriate clothes.

  • If your organisation would like to make a donation so that we can continue to provide our services to the community you do so by either:

    • Monetary donation – we are signed up to Benevity, a platform that is an easy and effective way to facilitate corporate giving.

    • Equipment – we always need more spades, forks, trowels, compost, seeds etc.

    • Services – marketing, events etc.

Thank you in advance for your all your support and you never know…you may wish to come back as a regular volunteer in your own time.
