Program Details

As we are currently in the renovation stage of our project, we are prioritising volunteers with Hard skills. Some experience in working with your hands is necessary and this might include some of the following:

Experience with building, carpentry, painting & decorating, renovating & plumbing, plastering and working with plasterboard

We will also accept special projects on a case by case basis, so if there is a particular project which you would like to realise or you have a particular skill set which you think we will find useful within our community please get in touch and we can have a discussion about how we can make it work!

To make sure the relationship is a good fit, we will ask you fill out a short questionnaire and have a quick video chat with us.

Activities & Shift

We would expect 5 hours of work per day from each volunteer & hope you would be flexible about the way this stacks up over the week. If we ask you for more time in any one day it's because it is important to us...and this flexibility will work both ways!
