Our Volunteers
Oakfield Community offer volunteering opportunities, whether this be ongoing personal volunteering, such as helping out with the gardens, with the day services, at the care farm, or with individual projects; or whether this be for a set time period such as corporate project volunteering. Our volunteers make a huge difference to the day-to-day running of our services, and we are grateful for our volunteers willingness to give their time.
You can see some examples of those who have kindly chosen to volunteer with us below. We are able to cater our volunteering opportunities to your time and need requirements.

"I volunteer at Oakfield on Wednesdays to help mainly with caring for and cleaning the animals, including the goats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I usually come from 10am until around 3pm to do things that I enjoy, as fast or as slow as I like. It is a really nice thing to do, the animals really appreciate it, and I do get a cuddle occasionally from the rabbits!
I also spend some time in the greenhouses to help out, such as making bird boxes or planting seeds. There are various ways to volunteer at Oakfield. Sometimes the people living on site also come out and we have a chat, or a coffee and biscuit. If there is anything you want to do or you have a particular interest, do come along!"
