OUTDOORS
Summer’s here and there’s no need to be stuck indoors!
- If you like to get your hands dirty there are gardening roles and other outdoor roles available for people who care about wildlife and conservation.
- You could help others get out and about too by volunteering as a community minibus or social car driver.
- If your time is short consider one-off volunteering and offer your services at charity special event days throughout the year.
