Volunteers

Volunteers are an essential part of the work of Bridewell Organic Gardens. They bring new perspectives, differing life experiences and a wide range of, sometimes specialist, skills to our organisation.

The presence of volunteers increases the variety of relationships available to gardeners and enables us to improve our delivery of a quality service.

Volunteers also help to promote public awareness of Bridewell.

At the moment we have about fifteen volunteers who regularly give their time to Bridewell. The work that they undertake is mainly with the gardeners, either in the garden, the vineyard or driving our minibus, with most of them committing one day per week.

In addition we have a number of other volunteers who support us at events such as our Open Day or Carol Concert, these people are our Friends of Bridewell. They support us by fundraising (coffee mornings, quiz nights, car boot sales, etc) or preparing the garden, baking cakes, organising raffle prizes and so on. At the events they run stalls, act as ushers, serve food, etc.

We are always keen to hear from new volunteers so if you are interested in being part of our innovative organisation then please contact us on 01993 868445 (office) or 01993 868313 (garden) or by email at info@bridewellorganicgardens.co.uk
