Balance (Support) CIO

Can you Give time to build our community garden in Richmond

We are recruiting volunteers to support the work if our Community Garden

Within the Horticultural Service at Balance, we don't just cultivate fresh vegetables and flowers but also a supportive environment where people we support can learn new skills and grow in independence and self-esteem.

Our volunteers are a key part of this work, whether providing support, teaching new skills and specialist knowledge, or just looking to broaden their participation in a very special community asset. The garden is a multi-disciplinary environment with a carpentry workshop, kitchen, craft rooms, glass houses and chicken run, all demanding differing abilities to run. If you can give a couple of hours a week on site and then tell people what a wonderful place it is, we would love to hear from you.
