Volunteering Opportunities

There are many opportunities to volunteer with Greening Chinnor, for example: working parties, admin, marketing, social media, events, talks, finance, education, website, social history, making cakes. If you would like to share a bit of your time, please contact us stating your area of interest of phone us for a chat.

Why not join our Orchard volunteers?

Working parties are held twice a month: on the first Tuesday 10:00 am – 12:30 pm and the third Saturday 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm. Why not come along and learn new skills, meet new people, use the time as a green gym and enjoy the outdoors. Equipment supplied and we always stop for tea! 

Or would you like to get involved in monitoring the wildlife, fauna and flora or help to find the old cottages? There are even some ‘back office’ jobs that always have to be done: help with media, plan events, talks, finance, education, website, grants, social history, making cakes, meeting people

We hold a variety of events throughout the year to showcase the Orchard and the work that we are doing.

If you would like to get involved in any of the aspects of the Orchard or just want to find out a little more about this project either speak to one of the volunteers at a working party or email  greeningchinnor@gmail.com or call Linda on 01844 352753 or keep in touch with the orchard and other Greening Chinnor projects by signing up to our occasional newsletter.  

We want to run our local Repair Cafés on a more regular basis. Can you help?

How you can help? We need more co-ordinators and reception/café support to join the team to help organise and run the cafés.

What’s involved? Co-ordinator: help plan the cafes, liaise with our volunteer fixers and support team, help promote event via posters and social media, facilitate the ‘flow’ at the café. Reception/Café support: help set up/clear away, welcome, explain process, book items in, offer refreshments.

All roles are flexible and can be done as and when you have time to offer. Training/support is offered for the roles.

If you’d like to find out more about our Repair Cafes email Linda at greeningchinnor@gmail.com to arrange an informal chat or have a look at our Repair Cafe page on our website at https://greeningchinnor.blogspot.com/p/repair-cafes.html
