Volunteering
You don’t just volunteer your time, skills and experiences, you become a Farm Friend when you help The Prospects Trust grow. We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities from regular days on the farm to selling raffle tickets to your friends. We have an opportunity to suit you!
Regular Farm Volunteers
For those with a lot of free time and some eager green fingers or an interest in social horticulture we offer days on the farm working alongside our team of Co-workers and staff. Or join our Green Welly Boot Camp Saturday Volunteers working alongside Farm Team Adam on whatever the season grows or throws at them!
Fundraising & Awareness Building
We are always looking for more FUNdraisers for the Farm, people who love a sponsored run or a funny feat for money are our favourites. Our Fundraising team can set you up with a fundraising page online, give you sponsorship forms and lots of promotion.
Perhaps you would like to be our Community Champion in your local area, from hosting a bake stall, running a quiz night or asking for raffle prizes, we would love to hear from you.
Prospects Unwrapped
In our busy refill store, cafe and truly GREENgrocery in the heart of Ely, Cambridgeshire we welcome a whole team of volunteers in the shaping and delivery of the shop, from DofE Students at the end of their day doing some pot washing to helping out on a busy Monday on the shop floor we need you!
Volunteer on the Farm
At Prospects Trust we are offering the unique opportunity to volunteer on our 18 acres of land. We offer the experience of working alongside amazing people and the chance to sustainably produce seasonal organic produce. There are different ways for you to join our growing volunteer team and help us to exceed a socially inspiring enterprise.
Saturdays
On a Saturday morning between the hours of 9 to 12:30 you can work at The Prospects Trust’s Snakehall Farm. Volunteering within these hours offers you the opportunity to relax within the natural wildlife and help our farm to shine. The volunteer community we are building are friendly and love seeing new people enjoying the same tasks as them. We take great pride here at The Prospects Trust in our Saturday volunteering team and the work they do is highly appreciated by us all. There is never a dull day at Snakehall Farm and tasks vary from seed to shop. Are you interested in horticulture? Well this is the place for you from sowing, to potting, to weeding and stocking we have it all. Join us now on a Saturday morning.
Weekdays
We can also offer week days, staying all day or coming for a couple of hours, it’s up to you. Mondays to Fridays offer you the amazing benefit of working alongside people who have additional needs, learning disabilities or autism (our Co-workers). Take it at your own pace or work at the same speed as our ready to work Co-workers. Tasks vary but we focus on meaningful jobs such as weeding! The opportunity fits all. A important requirement to volunteer with our co-workers is a DBS (visit the link to find out more: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service). We need you to help our Co-workers reach their full potential and our farm to grow. Can you help? Great, weekdays are the time for you. Join us now and showcase your skills.
