TCV - The community volunteering charity
Every day TCV works across the UK to create healthier and happier communities for everyone.

TCV Heroes Awards 2018
The TCV Heroes Awards are a celebration of the people who go above and beyond to support the work of TCV in communities across the UK.
Volunteering
TCV works with thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping them to discover, improve and enjoy their local green spaces and by doing so create happier and healthier communities.
We undertake a range of activities in both urban and rural areas, from planting trees and wildflower meadows, to building stiles, clearing footpaths or creating new food growing projects. Join us and have fun making a difference in your community.
Green Gym
Green Gyms are fun and free outdoor sessions where you will be guided in practical activities such as planting trees, sowing meadows and establishing wildlife ponds.
Unlike other conservation projects, the emphasis is very much on health and fitness - volunteers warm up and cool down in preparation for a range of light to vigorous activities to suit all abilities.
Working in Partnership
Help fund, support or even get involved in our work! As a charity, our successful partnerships with funders and corporate organisations provide the vital support we need to create healthy and happy communities across the UK.
We work alongside Charitable Trusts, Global Companies and local businesses to develop tailor-made programmes that make a real difference to people’s health, prospects and the environment.

Conservation Handbooks
A series of handbooks, converted to digital format, covering everything from tree planting to dry stone walling, sand dunes to footpaths.
TCV’s Handbooks have long been the definitive ‘how to’ guides to managing the countryside and green spaces. Originally over 1,000 pages of fantastic background, advice and instruction, written by experts, illustrated and clearly laid out in a step-by-step format.
Helping Kids Grow
From nature spotting to top tips on how to grow your own vegetables or even build a bird feeder, our Helping Kids Grow website covers it all.
Packed with ideas for children, carers and schools to discover new ways to enjoy green spaces and if you’re still not sure what to do, you can send us a question - we love to help.
