Gardening & Maintenance
Role details and requirements
Volunteers will assist Hucker Road Allotments Association with the regular upkeep, maintenance and improvement of communal areas across the allotment site.
Tasks will include:
- Weeding and clearing overgrown communal areas.
- Cutting back vegetation and keeping shared pathways clear and accessible.
- General gardening, planting and seasonal maintenance.
- Litter picking and removing garden debris.
- Tidying communal spaces and maintaining shared areas.
- Helping with occasional larger site improvement and clearance projects.
- Supporting the association in keeping the allotments safe, tidy and welcoming for all members.
Volunteers will only work in communal areas, not on individual allotment plots.
We are looking for reliable volunteers who can offer regular support, ideally weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on their availability.
Tasks will be allocated according to volunteers' abilities and experience, with appropriate guidance and supervision provided by the association.
No previous gardening experience is necessary, just a willingness to help, work outdoors and contribute to the local community.
As a volunteer-supported association, we are keen to encourage community participation and develop opportunities for local people to get involved in maintaining and improving our shared green spaces for everyone's benefit.
