New opportunity for the green-fingered among us! South Kent Mind are looking for gardening volunteers!

What does the role entail?

As a gardening volunteer you will be hosting and supporting regular gardening sessions at an allotment with people accessing our services. South Kent Mind are looking for someone to:

  • Engage and encourage
  • Introduce new skills
  • Organise and plan gardening sessions

What skills will I need?

  • Confident in leading sessions
  • A positive and engaging leader

Why become a gardening volunteer for South Kent Mind?

Becoming a volunteer is incredibly rewarding.
