Become A BEES Volunteer !
We realise how important and integral volunteers are in all that we do. Investing your time with us literally helps transform lives. Whether working with us as a farm hand, helping care for the animals or supporting young people with BEES educational activities, you will be given the chance to make a real difference whilst gaining some valuable skills and experience along the way.
If you would like to get involved, email us attaching your up to date C.V. Please include a brief description of relevant work experience and reasons why you want to join the BEES team. If we think that you are a suitable candidate we will be in touch. Please be aware that as you will be working with vulnerable young people we will have to make a DBS check.
We have a number of ways you can volunteer with us, see below for some typical volunteer roles.

Roles We Need
Volunteer Gardener
Do you love gardening and makings things grow ? We need someone who has experience of planting seeds, raising seedlings, watering, composting and weeding.
There is plenty of scope for the right person to have a real input into the way the fruit and vegetables and plants are grown here at BEES. This may occasionally involve working with children, but usually you will be working on your own or with other staff and volunteers.
We also have an exciting opportunity for volunteer gardeners to get involved with hydro/aquaponics.
Volunteer Farm Hand
BEES farm is abundant with life ! We need regular help with gardening, DIY and feeding and looking after the animals.
Do you enjoy working outdoors, growing things and caring for animals? Can you spare a day or two a week to help ? We would love to have some help in the day to day running of the farm.
We need friendly and enthusiastic people, who love working in the great outdoors. Previous experience would be beneficial, but as long as you are keen to learn and fancy the idea of practical work, we would like to hear from you.
Educational Volunteer
Volunteering at BEES is a fantastic way to fully experience supporting small groups of students and disadvantaged young people. What better way than to join our team as a Facilitator Of Discovery.
Recognising their needs and implementing support, imparting social and emotional skills to children creates confidence, self-worth and self-belief.
Responsibilities will include supporting young people in activities, and supporting our staff by helping inspire and engage young people with the days activities.
