Background

The Green Communities Project is a partnership project between Plymouth City Council and the National Trust. We are working in 3 key areas of the city, Devonport, Keyham and Central Park, aiming to connect people to nature and work with local people to look after our local green spaces. 

As a part of our ongoing work in Central Park, we have discovered the want for more volunteering opportunities. There are always jobs to do in Central Park, and your help is greatly appreciated! This will to help us manage and maintain the beds and foliage, and ensure the park is a fun and safe place for people and for nature

We are hosting some volunteering events in the Central Park over the next few months to help out community groups and understand what you would like to help with within the park! 

Due to the use of dangerous tools we ask that any children are over the age of 13, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  All abilities welcome, no experience required. We hope to see you there!
