Volunteering - What can you do?

Friends of Waring Park is a community group passionate about protecting our local green space.

We hold regular work parties that are open to all regardless of age, gender or experience.

You do NOT have to be a gardener! If you would like to help we will always talk to you first to assess where your particular skills can be best used.

We will usually pair you up with one of our more experienced members for a few weeks to guide you through what we do and to help with any questions you might have.
