The purpose of the role is to design and facilitate gardening activities at our community allotment with refugees and people seeking asylum, alongside our other gardening volunteers.
The role includes:
- planning and facilitating seasonal gardening activities with small groups
- supporting participants to bring their own ideas, work independently or lead their own activities where appropriate, providing support and guidance as needed
- fostering a positive culture of support and community
- raising any safeguarding or support concerns with our People Support Team
- setting up/packing down around sessions, generally contributing to the smooth running of sessions
- maintaining tools
- contributing to overall running of the charity (attending monthly online meetings, taking on organisational tasks)
- maintaining participant confidentiality
- attending training sessions as needed
At the garden we run gardening, art and craft activities. Through these sessions we maintain our beautiful community garden, grow and harvest vegetable/fruit crops and create wildlife and social areas. We always try to make sure there are a range of activities to choose from to fit with a range of energy/ability levels. All new ideas for activities to do at the garden are welcome!
Our sessions are on Tuesday mornings and afternoons and Friday mornings
Gardening expertise is not necessary for this role, although it is always very welcome.
