Our friendly gardeners are looking for more helping hands to join the teams in maintaining our tranquil grounds.

If you enjoy the outdoors and nature, willing to get your hands a little dirty and appreciate beautiful spaces then this could be the volunteering role for you.

Our gardens, known for their therapeutic value, are for everyone and our volunteers help in making them look beautiful all year round for patients, families and visitors.

You’ll be helping with regular activities such as planting, propagating, deadheading, pruning and weeding and for the more energetic scarifying, mulching, watering and general tidying.

You don’t have to be a horticultural expert – we’ll guide you and help expand your gardening skills and knowledge along the way.

We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation.

Community Champion volunteers: 

The main role of a Community Champion is to help raise support in their community for TWAM. This will mean organizing events (or finding people to organise them) such as coffee mornings, quiz nights, open gardens and all sorts of creative ways to fundraise.

It means keeping an eye on what is going on in the community and perhaps finding people to enter sponsored events such as fun runs, 10Ks, walks for TWAM.

It will include working with our other volunteers to arrange events such as TWAM evenings with coffee and cake or a buffet.

Community Fundraisers need to be people with big ideas and the energetic enthusiasm to see them through.

What will you be doing?

You will work within your local community, Church, or community group to promote TWAM and help raise the funds we need to keep the tools flowing.

You will organise events of all kinds or find others to do them for you, from music nights to traditional coffee mornings.

You’ll get pull-up banners, leaflets, resources and loads of support from everyone at TWAM from the Volunteering Coordinator and the Fundraising and Communications Officer to your local TWAM Tool Ambassadors and Community Ambassadors.

What are we looking for?

Passionate, energetic people who can organise things and get things done, and people who can identify others and mobilise them to organise events.

We really need people who can work as a team and really get stuck into the very exciting role.

What difference will you make?

We always need people to collect tools and refurbish them, but without the funds to run our vans and keep our Refurbishment Centres operating, nothing would happen. Shipping to Africa costs a lot of money and again, we need the funds to do it.

This is why the Community Champion is so important, and this is the difference you will make, because nothing happens without the people willing to ask for the funds to run the charity.
