Orb has a thriving garden which features pots, vegetable beds, herb garden, greenhouse, pond, wildlife and more for people to enjoy. We are looking for volunteer gardener(s) to help maintain this space and support our service users in day to day tasks and growing their own produce (or flowers!). The garden also provides the produce for our regular cookery sessions. If you have green fingers, love the outdoors and want to help vulnerable people access a healthier and greener lifestyle, we'd love to hear from you.
No formal qualifications required, but some garden experience is essential.
We run 4 gardening sessions per week, Tuesday am and pm and Thursday am and pm. We are happy for a volunteer to attend one or all of these sessions. The choice is yours.

Orb promotes positive mental health and provides better life opportunities to those experiencing poor mental health through engagement in creative activities, learning, performance and volunteering. We help people overcome isolation, build skills and confidence, improve their well-being and play a valued role in the local community. Everyone has mental health - sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad - and Orb works to help keep people well in the community as well those experiencing longer term problems. Whether you want to access support or maybe volunteer, it's always worth getting in touch.
