Volunteer with Heywood in Bloom
Heywood in Bloom is powered by volunteers. Everything we achieve, from our Community Allotment and colourful displays to events and new community projects, depends on people giving their time, skills and enthusiasm. And you don’t have to be a gardener to join in.
Whether you can spare a few hours each week, help occasionally when we have a big job to tackle, or simply lend a hand at an event, every contribution makes a difference.
There’s a place for everyone
Our volunteers include experienced gardeners and complete beginners. You can help with planting, growing, watering and maintaining displays around the town, or spend time at our Community Allotment. You can learn as you go, work alongside more experienced volunteers and get involved at a level that suits you. But Heywood in Bloom needs much more than gardeners.
Perhaps you’re good at photography, social media, fundraising, organising events, administration, arts and crafts, maintenance or working with community groups. Maybe you have a skill we haven’t even thought of yet. Tell us what you enjoy doing and let’s see how you can help.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is an opportunity to get outdoors, stay active, meet new people and learn new skills. It can provide valuable experience for your CV, help build confidence and give you the satisfaction of seeing the difference your work makes in your own community.
There is no minimum commitment. Give us a few hours a year or a few hours a week – it all helps.
Most importantly, you’ll be joining a friendly group of local people who share one simple aim:
Making Heywood a greener, brighter and better place to live, work and visit.
Complete our short volunteer form and tell us a little about yourself and how you might like to help.
