As a volunteer you can spend as much, or as little, time as you are able to spare helping the causes that you care about in our communities. The personal benefits of working with friends and neighbours on a community project can also help with your physical and mental wellbeing. It can also be cited on job applications.

​

Volunteering with Heywood in Bloom you will be working alongside both people with experience of gardening, and people who are total novices. There are no dumb questions and we are all here to learn from each other. It is a warm welcoming atmosphere and everything you do to help us is very much appreciated.​

​

We also need help from people with skillsets that you might not associate with Gardening projects, such as photography, maintenance crafts, administrative skills, web design, social media, arts and crafts, and many more, so don't think about what you can't do, think about what you can do to work with us and help us improve our environment for all of Heywood, Hopwood, and Prettywood.
