GIVING BACK BY GETTING BACK TO NATURE

If your workplace or organisation wants to volunteer their time to support our work, we’d love to talk. There are lots of ways to get involved with Green Light Trust, from Woodland Days to fundraising to becoming a partner. Our corporate volunteering offer is perfect if you want to give back by kindly donating your time and expertise.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME AS A CORPORATE PARTNER

Our work is made possible by a dedicated network of purposeful, driven people. Our corporate partners have generously volunteered their time in the past in some of the following ways:

Help with tree planting, habitat restoration, and maintenance to keep woodland spaces accessible and thriving.

Offering your professional expertise and skills to help us deliver against our mission, whatever that may look like for you.

If you can’t offer your time, donations of equipment can be immensely helpful in delivering our programmes for children, young people and adults.

Although we’re working, it’s relaxing, and you don’t have to think about anything other than being in the moment and being here.  I would definitely recommend it.
