We want to help you – and you can help us
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. We are looking for people of 18 or over, from any background, to help us run our wood-recycling enterprise. You don’t need any previous experience and can work part-time — there are lots of things to get involved with.
Getting back into work
We especially welcome applications from people who are seeking to get back into mainstream employment. You will gain confidence and useful experience and skills for your next job while working in a supportive team. All equipment and training is provided.
All potential volunteers are invited for an initial conversation at our premises to find out what we can do for you, and what you can do for us.

Especially needed
Can you help us with wood collections?
We’ve recently bought a specialist collection vehicle with a wood cage on the back, and are particularly looking for people who can help us fulfil wood collections from local building sites. We need reliable drivers and helpers to go out in the van to meet customers and load the wood, and customer-friendly administrative support staff to accept collection bookings and organise collection teams. We expect to create some part-time paid positions too.
Supervisors
Work with us to help others
We are all about transforming lives. Volunteers with good people-skills and life experience come alongside others as we work together and supervise activities. Woodworking skills are useful for teaching in the workshop, but no woodworking experience at all is needed to volunteer with us. It is primarily people-skills we are looking for, and we want both male and female volunteers. Come and find out what we do, with no obligation.
