TCV - The community volunteering charity

Every day TCV works across the UK to create healthier and happier communities for everyone.

Whether by conserving a well-loved outdoor space or bringing people together to promote social cohesion, our varied activities connect people and green spaces to deliver lasting outcomes for both.

TCV - working together with our volunteers and communities to deliver practical solutions to the real life challenges they face.

Join in, feel good.

Who we are

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.

Join our Community Network

All around the UK, more people than ever before are getting together in community groups to improve their local environments.

Join them now to take advantage of a dedicated website, competitively-priced insurance, discounts from TCV's suppliers of tools, trees, seeds and equipment, funding information, access to grants and much, much more!

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.
