Interns and Volunteers

We work to help the local communities and the environment in many different ways, and our supporters can do also … at times we need interns and volunteers, either on a single day, short term or longer term basis. If you would like to help us in achieving our objectives by applying your skills and time in this way please contact us via our Contacts section.

Interns are often sponsored by their academic or business organisation, Volunteers more often acting as individuals. We try to be very flexible in our approach, matching each vacancy to both needs of the Foundation and those of the individual.
