Want to get Outdoors, Active and Well?
 We are committed to increasing the potential of individuals and communities.  Volunteers are integral to what we do and we have a number of opportunities available.  We run 6 weekly gardening groups in Leeds.  As a community garden volunteer you will :  
​
Get Outdoors:
Join a weekly community group, get some fresh air and  learn new skills

Be Active:
Improve your fitness, make a change in your community and connect with local people

Feel Well:
Improve or maintain your wellbeing in a relaxed and safe environment whilst giving and receiving informal peer support.

We are committed to following best practice and guidelines for volunteering and have received our Volunteer Kite Mark.
​
​
  • Groups are free, weekly and take place all-year-round
  • Each group is run by a staff member who makes sure everyone is safe and understands the tasks​
  • Groups are 2 hours long. We start and finish on time and need your help to set up and pack down punctually.
  • We work on site as a group of up to 15 Volunteers doing different tasks, which means people are sometimes spread out.  You can usually chose what task you want to do, and work either as a group or on your own.
  • Staff can’t offer one-to-support, if you need extra support in the garden, please contact us to discuss.​
  • ​If you have any questions or if you’re not sure whether Community Gardening is for you, feel free to get in touch! volunteer@​hydeparksource.org
