Volunteer group
We host a volunteer group on Friday mornings where people can help us with our site maintenance and improvements. We have a range of jobs that need doing so there's always something that will suit your interests and capabilities. We finish up with drinks and refreshments.
Join us if you love spending time outside and want to join the fun with like-minded people and support what we do here.
Valley Farm OWL provides outdoor wellbeing and learning opportunities, supporting people through interactions with animals and nature.
