The Green Taskforce runs regular sessions where participants work side by side with trained staff and volunteers. Activities range from planting and maintaining community beds to developing new skills that support confidence, wellbeing and greater independence. Volunteers play a key role by providing encouragement, sharing knowledge and helping create a friendly and inclusive environment.

This opportunity is open to all gardener levels. You do not need specialist experience, only an interest in supporting people and a willingness to get involved. Volunteers must live in Mansfield due to funder requirements.

One volunteer shared ““I started volunteering with the charity with no experience – I just needed a new challenge. I wasn’t sure if it would be for me, but I’m glad I started as I would have missed out on meeting so many lovely people. Even if you have a couple of hours to spare, they may be the best two hours of your week.”
