We drive, shop, befriend and carry out light gardening for over 200 members who live in Kew (West London) who are mostly older people with mobility issues. We are looking for Volunteer Gardeners. We need gardeners to help those with disabilities and the elderly in maintaining their gardens.

Benefits to volunteer:

So many people don't have family who live close to them. We connect people who want to help, with people who need help. It's a win, win. Those who volunteer feel more engaged with the people within their own local communities. And those people who ask us for help are able to get to appointments, see their friends and get out and about.

Gardening

- A car would be useful but not essential, especially if you are local to Kew. - Some knowledge of garden maintenance. - Energy. - Compassion and patience. - A DBS Check that KNA will pay for and organise.

KNA connects Kew residents who need a helping hand with volunteers within their community. As well as getting to know clients through volunteering, KNA also hosts an annual Summer Party for our clients and a party in the Autumn / Winter to thank our Volunteers as well as a very sociable AGM in February with nibbles and drinks.

Volunteering for KNA is extremely flexible. It is designed to fit around you and your other commitments. Gardening Volunteering usually takes place between March to September. You can accept gardening jobs as often as suits you. We do ask for a minimum commitment of helping for six months as it costs money to carry out DBS checks and to onboard volunteers.

Further location details may be provided below.
