Common Ground

​

For supported volunteers

 

Common Ground supports those who have 'slipped through the cracks' of normal statutory services. Be part of a team of like-minded people who share their knowledge, experience and purpose across generations. Age is no barrier to entry!

​

Groups will work on a range of tasks on-site including conservation work, maintenance and repair, landscape construction and building, gardening and livestock farming.

​

Participants will get to:

- Reconnect with nature

- Care for each other and share a purpose

- Share skills, knowledge and experiences

- Grow with others

- See the fruits of your labour

- Get fit, make friends, have an impact!

​

Common Ground was born out of the post COVID-19 transitional period, where local people have found it difficult to resume with 'normal' life. It aims to help people develop their confidence, resilience and employability. 

​

The programme is accessible for people of all ages and encourages supported volunteers to pursue their interests and fulfil their potential.
