This is an opportunity for volunteers to be involved in a variety of tasks that support the upkeep and maintenance of Hawkwood's beautiful, sustainably managed grounds. These are open to everyone from the local community and further afield to experience and enjoy.

As is typical with the nature of gardening and grounds keeping, the types of work volunteers will be involved with vary, especially from season to season, but what is consistent is the sense of satisfaction volunteers can find working with other members of their community to preserve the natural beauty of a space that is freely open to their community all year round.

Hawkwood is more than just an estate, it's a community of people who feel privileged to work, volunteer, study and otherwise be involved with a wonderful charity set in one of the most beautiful estates in the country.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to work on Fridays between 10-1 with our head gardener Bernard Jarman on the upkeep of Hawkwood's gorgeous grounds and garden.

To apply, please click 'Join' and you will be asked a short question. We will then be in touch to discuss the next steps with you.
