Volunteering

There are lots of different ways of volunteering with the BFG. We are a friendly group and interested in learning together and sharing experience. You don't need to have any knowledge, experience or skills.

As a group member, you can come along to monthly get togethers and work in the garden - a diverse range of jobs always need doing, for example: weeding, planting, propagating, pruning, composting, strimming, mulching etc. If you enjoy this, you can come along and work in the garden more frequently.

There are always many other ways of getting involved - such as compiling a newsletter, helping with health and safety requirements, making publicity materials, distributing posters and flyers, writing articles etc.

Another way that you can get involved is to becjome a company director. This would require you to come to a Directors' meeting four times a year which lasts approximately 3 hours. The purpose of these meetings is to decide on strategic direction and deetermine how we should approach our goals. You may take on a few tasks at these meetings to undertake between meetings. There is a high degree of flexibility to take into account your skills and interests and the amount of time that you can commit.
