Volunteering opportunities

Meet and Greet volunteers
If you love chatting with people and you’re looking for a relaxed role then this could be a great opportunity for you! We’re looking for Meet & Greet volunteers to be on site during opening times to help visitors feel welcome, answer their questions, show them around if they wish and offer more information. The site can get busy but it isn’t always – during quiet times it’s a good opportunity to catch up on a book or potter in the community garden! Our lovely new, heated Welcome Cabin includes a sofa, computer, a tea/coffee station (and biscuits of course) and other amenities to ensure your comfort.
Growing Group volunteers needed

The Railway Gardens Growing Group is a friendly group of local people who meet regularly to develop the community garden on site. No gardening experience needed! If you’d like to join the group please register as a volunteer here and note that you’d like to join the Growing Group, or email julia@greensquirrel.co.uk.
