3. Casual/ one-off volunteering opportunities - This month's practical site tasks: take your pick!
Our site task list to give everyone a better idea of what needs doing around the site. These could be the perfect tasks for you if you enjoy something practical and hands on! You can come in and pick up these tasks any time during opening hours (see below) or - if you're on the Meet and Greet team - during your shift.
Examples of the tasks that often need doing...
- Tidying and sorting the growing group shed
- Deep cleaning the loos
- Tidying up around the outside of the greenhouses
- Turning the compost bins
- Weeding the pathways
- Washing down the greenhouse windows
You can see the current task list here and find more details about each task. Please either mark the task as DONE on the spreadsheet or let Hannah know when you've completed it.
Please log your hours once you've done them so we can thank you for them (and issue time credits if you're signed up to collect them). Simply go to the 'Hours' tab on your profile and choose 'This month's practical site tasks' from the drop down menu. Put in the date and the time you spent volunteering and you're done!
You need to have had your site induction to pick up these tasks. You can pop in to do these tasks any time the Welcome Cabin in open...
Tuesday, 10am - 2:30pm
Wednesday, 10am - 2:30pm
Thursday, 10am - 2:30pm
Some Saturdays - please check with us if you need to come in on a Saturday.
Alternatively if you are a lead volunteer you can come on site outside of these times but please make sure you're familiar with our lone working policy and take suitable steps to keep yourself safe - ideally arrange with another volunteer to join you.
SAFETY FIRST! Please wear gloves - they can be found in the Welcome Cabin or in the (unlocked) Growing Group shed. Please prioritise your own safety; don't do or lift anything that could make you uncomfortable or hurt you.
