Program Details
Transport is almost essential – You’ll be working between Wheel Farm (rural) and the village centre (2 miles away). Without a car, it’s a 50-minute walk to the farm, and trips to Screwfix (2 miles away) for tools/materials will be tricky. If you have a vehicle, this job becomes much smoother!
Accommodation Option:
A private room in a flat in the village centre or on the farm (not in peak times after 17 Jul)
Otherwise, we offer a camp site, or place fo r your motorhome/caravan.
Tools & Materials:
Basic tools/equipment provided, but own tools are a plus (especially if you have construction experience)
Materials can be sourced from Screwfix/local suppliers (transport needed)
