Use Your Expertise and Time to Volunteer
We need to recruit more active volunteers who believe in what we are trying to achieve and are prepared to get involved.
Our former chairman (John Venning) introduced the notion of volunteering à la carte. Rather than feel you have to over-commit to support a wide range of activities or join a committee, volunteers can now be selective as to which activity or campaign to support. Much can now be done via email without attending meetings and those who espouse a particular cause can contribute directly.
Find the Type of Volunteering that's Right For You
Our volunteering opportunities generally fall into four categories:
- Administrative and event support at our county office at Martyr Worthy near Winchester - see below
- Support your local group, e.g. in local campaigns, social events, fund-raising - see list of groups; read what volunteer Lizzie Laird says about helping with events
- Contribute to the work of one the four county-wide groups - Planning & Rural Group, Transport Campaign Group, Campaigning Management Group and Fundraising & Social Group.
- Contribute to specific campaigns - see campaign pages
Look out for this icon across the site, to see opportunities to help our work.
If you think you can spare some time to help, please contact the relevant local group, county-wide group or the county office on 01962 779185.
We would be delighted to hear from you!
Some Specific Examples
Activities you might like to get involved with include:
- volunteering at an event
- helping to run a raffle
- being our 'eyes and ears' in your area
- helping with our sustainable transport toolkit
- the list is endless...
If you tell us what you've interested in, we will do our best to find you a project. Volunteering can be once a year, a month or as much time as you are prepared to give. Help us to stand up for your countryside by volunteering. Please contact Becky French or Anthony McEwen to discuss the volunteering opportunities. We would love to hear from you!
