Please note, when signing up to volunteer with Urban Green Newcastle, your application represents an individual unless you contact us to register as a group.

We also are unable to accept if pets (service animals are excluded from this rule) are brought along to volunteering tasks as they pose a distraction and are not covered in risk assessments.
