Volunteering with Cherry Trees
Volunteer Maintenance Assistant
Could you help us our facilities in shape?
From cleaning windows, to cutting grass and hedges, we are looking for regular help to keep Cherry Trees clean, tidy and safe. There is no set pattern, but would ideally look for regularly support across the year to keep on top of the external areas. No previous experience is needed and we will provide all the tools and equipment needed.
Farnham Community Farm
Mission Statement
Founded in 2008, Farnham Community Farm—formerly known as Farnham Local Food—is a community-run project powered by volunteer support. Our mission is to provide fresh, locally grown vegetables, produced to organic standards, for people in and around the Farnham area. We also offer volunteering opportunities in a peaceful, welcoming environment.
Here’s what we’re proud of:
-
We welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities—whether you’re coming as an individual, with support to learn new skills, or simply to enjoy the calm, open space of the farm.
-
We host schools, youth groups (including Cubs, Brownies, and Rainbows), and participants completing Duke of Edinburgh or school volunteering programmes.
-
No regular commitment is required—just join us when it suits you. For your first visit, please let us know by emailing: volunteering@farnhamcommunityfarm.com
Our vegetables are as fresh as it gets. Picked the very same day they’re collected, they travel virtually no food miles, helping preserve nutrients often lost in supermarket produce that’s been transported long distances. It’s better for you—and better for the planet.
As with all community projects we always need more help in all areas of our scheme. If you think FCF is something you may enjoy being part of then come along and see us. All ages, all abilities, everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there.
General Interests
Vegetable growing - help with all manner of growing tasks - something to suit all abilities!
Our volunteers help with all manner of growing tasks; we have something to suit all abilities. Things our volunteers get up to in the field include:
Sowing seeds in the polytunnel
Potting on plants
Planting out seedlings in the field
Preparing the soil for planting, using a broad fork and rake
Weeding, tidying and maintaining the crops
Harvesting the crops (Wednesdays and Thursday morning); picking and digging up the veg required that week
Weighing out veg for each member's bag
Building infrastructure (e.g., a shed), creating structures for the children’s area, or repairing wooden items.
Topping up vegetable beds with manure or compost
Tea and lunch breaks are an important part of the day, when we all sit together to chat and enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits—provided free by the farm.
We welcome volunteers Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm (or 4pm in the winter). All abilities are welcome and we don't ask for any commitment, just come when it suits you. It is good to let us know you are coming on your first visit by sending an email to: volunteering@farnhamcommunityfarm.com

Mary's Meals
Mission Statement
Our vision is that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education and that all those who have more than they need, share with those who lack even the most basic things. Working together with those who share our vision, we believe there is no good reason why this cannot be realised.
Mary’s Meals is a global movement supported by people from many walks of life and different backgrounds. Our mission is to enable people to offer their money, goods, skills, time, or prayer, and through this involvement, provide the most effective help to those suffering the effects of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest communities.

Flexibility, self-motivation and the willingness to motivate others are all great traits for Event Volunteers.
What’s in it for you?
You will be part of the Momentum team of volunteers and will meet plenty of other like-minded, friendly people at whatever event you choose to get involved in. You will gain satisfaction knowing that you have made a difference to the participants and raised the profile of Momentum at the event.
Hours required
Hours will vary, but it could be anything from 2-6 hours per event. This is an ad-hoc role and we will keep you informed of dates/times that we are looking for volunteer support. We will contact you when we need you and you are under no obligation to accept if you are otherwise busy.
Location
The locations will vary but much of our work and events are based in Surrey, Sussex and South West London.
How we’ll support you
There will be a key point of contact for you from the Momentum office and we’ll give you all the information you need prior to the event, such as meeting points, required resources and points of contact.
