Summary
Norwich Unity Hub are looking to build a team of volunteers to support with breathing new life into the historic gardens at Carrow House.
Detailed description
Hello!
Norwich Unity Hub are looking for volunteers to join us in caring for the beautiful gardens at Carrow House.
A basic knowledge of gardening is helpful, along with sensible clothing, footwear, and gloves. We’ll provide tools and refreshments to keep you going.
How it works: We have a Garden WhatsApp group where our lead garden volunteer Boyd (of Boyd's Garden & Wildlife Services) will be letting folk know about what needs doing and when they can come in. If you're interested in joining, please send a message and we'll provide you with a link to our WhatsApp Carrow House Garden Volunteer Group.
Boyd is always at Carrow House on Thursday afternoons and then runs a monthly Gardening Day (usually a Sunday) open to everyone. Once you know the venue you could also visit on other occasions to suit your availability... and liaise with other volunteers to meet up with them here too.
Upcoming confirmed dates:
Sunday 25th January, Sunday 22nd February and Sunday 29th March. All 10am to 2pm.
About us: Norwich Unity Hub have a meanwhile lease for Carrow House with Norwich City Council for three years, and we're a year in. We're a team of one full-time and three part time staff members.
We share the space with 25 'resident member' charities and have a further 20 'non-resident member' charities - so your time in volunteering will be benefitting 45 local organisations supporting clients across Norfolk. With the additional benefit of being based in a stunning, historic venue, once home to the Colman family!
Whether you can give a little time or a lot, your contribution will help us keep the grounds flourishing for visitors and the community to enjoy. Come and be part of something special - help us restore and celebrate this historic space while enjoying fresh air, nature, and good company.
We hope to hear from you soon, Norwich Unity Hub.
