Volunteering at the centre: what a week looks like
Garden, animals, kitchen, guests: five hours a day, one day off, and a lot of quiet in between. What to know before you apply.
We often hear from people who’d like to spend a few weeks at the centre as volunteers. It’s a lovely way to be here, and it is also real work. Here’s an honest picture of a week.
The shape of a week
Volunteers give about 25 hours a week: five hours a day, with one day off. The work is shared across the garden, the animals, the kitchen and looking after guests, so no two days are quite the same.
Who it suits
We welcome volunteers aged 20 to 40 with intermediate English or better. Life at the centre is vegan, and there is no alcohol, smoking or drugs on the property.
Everything in one place
The information pack covers the details: what to bring, how to get here and what a typical day looks like.
