At the heart of change

Fresh Air Volunteering

Volunteering is great for the soul!

Our local charities rely on volunteers like you to make a difference in our community.

Join in supporting our local causes and meet like-minded people while having fun.

Let’s work together to create positive change in society.

They are looking for more volunteers to help support their team at the Park. Volunteers play an important part in the running of the Park, and can be involved in almost every aspect of their daily tasks, depending on your experience and the amount of time you are able to contribute.

Our volunteers here at NAWT are an incredible bunch of people of whom they are incredibly proud and grateful; with around 200 active volunteers supporting us in their Centres and Shops they are able to continue our work to look after their animals with love and care until they can find their forever home.

They would not be the organisation they are without the support of their volunteer community.

In 2021, more than 7,000 volunteers gave the equivalent amount of time as 92 full time members of staff to help save butterflies, moths and the environment.

Volunteering in any capacity is a great way to share your enthusiasm, skills and ideas whilst having fun and meeting like-minded people.

By volunteering for the Trust, you would also be making a positive contribution to the conservation of bumblebees, wildflowers and the many other parts of our natural world that depend on bees.

If you have a few hours to spare and would like to get involved they run regular practical volunteering activities almost every week, some during the week and some at weekends.

No previous experience is required and they supply waders and equipment.

Activities are often in the river, as well as on the adjoining habitats and include riverbank restoration, planting, habitat improvement, litter picking, Himalayan balsam removal and much more! 

The Society exists to Promote the understanding, appreciation and conservation of the West Berkshire Countryside, they also learn, and get to have a lot of fun, while they do so.

Whether you have just an hour, a day or a week to give, and whatever your skills, there’s an opportunity for you to volunteer with the Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) near where you live.

You will be joining hundreds of other people from all walks of life who volunteer with the Wildlife Trust.

They welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and abilities.

Join us as a volunteer and make a meaningful change in our society. When we work together, much great can be done. Sign up to support our community today.
