Regular Volunteering Sessions

When and Where.

We hold regular volunteer sessions at:

- Tuesdays: 9.30am

- Thursdays: 9.30am

- Saturdays: 1pm

We meet by the Heartwork Coffee kiosk before heading into the park for around 90 minutes of practical work. Once we’re finished, we return for a well-deserved coffee and cake (optional, but highly recommended!).

Tasks include:

-General grounds maintenance (such as litter picking, weeding, pruning, and tidying)

-Ecology work (like planting, wildlife monitoring, guided walks, and hedge care)

-Supporting park events (helping with set-up, stewarding, and welcoming visitors)

We also hold occasional special volunteer days to tackle more significant projects, such as planting our new community orchard or creating new habitats for wildlife.

We are a ‘Drop In Any Time’ Team

We totally understand that some of us have plenty of free time and some of us have very little. So please feel free to fit in volunteer sessions around your other commitments.

There are lots of ways to help
Our volunteers take on a wide range of activities all year round.

All tools and instructions are provided, and each session is supervised by a trustee or park ranger.

After you’ve attended your first session, we’ll add you to our volunteer WhatsApp group. This keeps you up to date with tasks and reminders about upcoming sessions.

We welcome volunteers of all abilities and ages, and are proud to have an intergenerational team, including volunteers aged 80 and above!

If it’s your first session, just turn up and introduce yourself! We’re a friendly bunch!

Duke of Edinburgh Award

We welcome Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteers to join our Saturday 1pm volunteering group for an hour each week.

Please note that you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the start of your first session, so you can complete our volunteer induction form and agree to our code of conduct.

We do have a limit on the number of under 18 volunteers we can manage at any one time, so please get in touch first to confirm there is space available.

Corporate Volunteering

We warmly welcome corporate volunteer groups to join us at Knowle Park Trust, with prices starting at just £40 per person.

This is a great way to encourage team building while making a positive impact on local ecology.

Activities often include caring for newly planted trees, clearing ditches, and other hands-on tasks that help maintain our beautiful surroundings.

As part of the package, each volunteer enjoys a cup of coffee, and there are plenty of lunch options available either on site or in the nearby High Street.

Volunteering at Event in the Park

If ditches and pruning is not your thing, you may be interested in helping run fun events in Knowle Park!

Events are all one-off volunteer sessions so you can sign up to help at just one or as many as you fancy.

Tasks you can help with will be things like car park marshalling, collecting donations, welcoming attendees, running a bar, taking a shift as a grotto elf and generally being around to smile and assist visitors.

If you'd like to join in helping at events please email us using the button below....
