Volunteer Gardening Helper
The willows honeypot lane London is a brand new service in the heart of Brent, a stone’s throw from Wembley Stadium so close you can see the arch.
The Willows is a 61 flat extra care service. We support vulnerable adults with a wide range both conditions and care needs in their own homes.
We are looking for a gardening volunteer to develop and run sessions as our service users are really keen to make use of our fantastic garden space. We have a large Communal courtyard garden with several planters for growing. We are looking for people who have a good knowledge of gardening, in particular growing and looking after plants and would like to pass on that knowledge. The gardening sessions will run weekly and will also involve our service user families. The volunteer role will also involve an element of fundraising for our gardening project and we’d welcome your ideas and support with this. If you love gardening and have experience of allotments, or planting and growing vegetables in your back garden then this is the volunteering opportunity for you!
We support our volunteers with an Induction, training for the role, a named volunteer supervisor, a monthly newsletter and a monthly online peer support group.
Suggested time commitment: 3-6 hours per week, 1-2 sessions.
