Calling All Green-Thumbed Volunteers!

Join Practical Support team and cultivate smiles.



As a Practical Support Gardening Volunteer, you will:

Visit families local to you that need help with general garden tasks such as mowing, weeding, pruning and planting, either on your own or as part of a small team of volunteers.
Engage with family members and provide a supportive ear for them as an ambassador for Demelza.
Feedback to the Practical Support team on your visits, ensuring any needs of the family are recorded.
Flexible Commitment: We respect your schedule. Enjoy flexible volunteer hours that fit your availability, with no minimum or maximum amount of volunteering time.

All Practical Support volunteers have an initial interview with a member of the team, followed by a training session for volunteering with Demelza families. You will also receive a face to face induction, as well as ongoing support and supervision from the team.

Volunteers helping with Demelza families are also required to undertake an Enhanced DBS check before starting the role.
