What to expect on the day:

Arriving and getting there: You’re welcome to park your car in the field when you arrive. Parking is free. Public bus travel is also possible, with bus stops very close to the site.

​

Gentle start:  

We usually meet at 1 pm in the “Hub” for a welcome, introductions, and a quick run-through of the plan for the afternoon.

​

Keep everyone safe:

We’ll cover a simple health and safety briefing, including any risks and how to use tools safely (if needed).

​

Learning as you go:

Tasks are explained clearly, and there’s always someone to guide you. 

​

Work at your own pace:  

Join in as much or as little as you like. There’s a range of activities to suit different energy levels and interests.

​

Breaks & facilities:  

Take breaks whenever you need. Drinking water is encouraged and toilets are available on site (just a short walk away or up to 5 minutes depending on where you’re working).

​

Ending together:  

We usually finish around 4 pm, often gathering a little before the end to share a brew by the fire. Sometimes people bring along biscuits or cake to share too!

 
If you have any questions about volunteering please email admin@whistlewoodcommon.org. You do not need to let us know that you are coming to volunteering, although it always helps with knowing how big a packet of biscuits to get!
