There are always opportunities for voluntary workers at the Trust’s headquarters at Welwyn, Hertfordshire, England.
Some volunteers are full-time and live on site, others come for a few hours when they can.
Why not join them?

Although there are no age requirements, it helps for insurance purposes if you are adult.
Present volunteers’s ages range from about 16 to 70.
We’re not very good with languages, so it is useful if you speak and understand English.
For those who need accomodation there are mobile homes which, while not luxurious,
are weatherproof and provided with 240v. 50Hz electricity.
People having their own caravans, campervans or similar are welcome to bring them.
Basic food can be provided and there are shops within walking distance from which other supplies can be bought.
