Each year a team join us for between 1 and 3 weeks each April, just before the guests arrive, to help us prepare the site. Each day begins with a time of prayer before splitting into work parties. Tasks include putting up tents, setting up equipment, cleaning, gardening, distributing linen, sorting uniform, and much more: there is plenty to get involved in.
Lunch is provided and work stops in time for a relaxed evening meal together. There is a great community feel as we all pull together. You need to be over 18 years old and we’re always looking for people with technical skills such as bike maintenance, setting up audio-visual equipment, sewing, gardening and general maintenance. Some roles are more strenuous and require a good level of physical fitness (reasonable adjustments will be made where practicable). We really are looking for people with a broad range of practical skills and experience!
In September we do it all again, in reverse!
These roles are full time (35 hours per week) and we provide accommodation and meals, plus assistance with travel.
More information on all our roles can be found in our Volunteer Brochure (see below).
