Volunteering in South Yorkshire

Volunteering is a great way to get outdoors, meet new people, and learn new skills, as well as improve your health, wellbeing, and confidence.

There are a number of ways you can volunteer with TCV in South Yorkshire:

  • Green Gym
  • Key Volunteer roles

Green Gym

Green Gym is a great way to keep fit through wildlife conservation and countryside management activities like planting trees, mowing meadows, and repairing fences.

Green Gym is open to everyone. No prior experience required, and you can work at your own pace.

Guidance and instruction are given throughout. Green Gym sessions are as much about socialising and enjoying nature, as they are about conservation and keeping fit.
