VCF: Volunteer opportunities listing

Vauxhall City Farm volunteering opportunities.

Vauxhall City Farm is looking for volunteers to help with our education and
outreach programme.

Us: Established in 1977, Vauxhall City Farm is a free of charge charity
urban farm located in a deprived inner city area and is open to the public 5
days a week. We offer talk tours and workshops to schools to teach children
about food and farming, animals and the environment. We go out to schools to
set up gardening and incubation projects and we also have lots of free
family events.

You: Enjoy working with children, enthusiastic about helping them understand
and care for the natural environment. You would help us deliver a range of
sessions and talk tours to key stages 1, 2 and 3 and develop materials for
schools to use. You'll gain valuable experience in planning and leading
educational activities for different age groups.

We’ll ask you to fill out a volunteering application form, provide 2
character references and have a short, informal meeting with us to check
suitability. You’ll also have to complete a standard CRB disclosure form.

If you are interested in volunteering at the farm please contact
vcfeducation@btconnect.com or phone Hannah on 0207 582 4202
