Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up in advance?

No need! Just turn up on the day—though registering helps us know how much tea to brew!

Is this only for new volunteers?

Nope! While it’s a great intro for newcomers, we also welcome existing volunteers and local friends who want to give feedback or just connect.

What kind of volunteering opportunities do you offer?

We run a mix of community gardening, mindful growing sessions, special events, and workshops. This drop-in is a great chance to learn about them all!

What should I bring?

Yourself, any questions you have, and a reusable cup if you fancy a tea or coffee (though we have some if needed).

Can I bring a friend?

Absolutely! The more, the merrier.
