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 Volunteers working alongside Farm Team or in our new Nature Reserve 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!
Green Team Volunteering
We can offer volunteering in our Nature Reserve Tuesday to Thursday and on the Farm Mon to Friday between 9 and 4. This offers you the opportunity to relax within the natural wildlife or help our farm to shine. Our volunteer community we are friendly and love welcoming new people enjoying the same tasks as them. We take great pride here at The Prospects Trust in our 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…..Give us a call on 01638 741 551 or send us an email to enquires@prospectstrust.org.uk
A Mid Week Helping Hand alongside our Co-workers and Staff
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! We have acres of opportunity for you to get stuck in and help!
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.
