Green Light Trust is a local charity that always puts people and planet first. Volunteering opportunities are varied, you could be out in our woodlands supporting our programmes, or you may want to offer your professional skills to support us in a different way. There are many benefits to volunteering, both for Green Light Trust but also importantly for you. All volunteers have the opportunity to connect with nature, make new friends and contribute to the Green Light Trust mission. 

benefits

Be part of something bigger. Volunteering connects you with like-minded people, builds friendships, and strengthens your ties to your local community and environment — all while helping to create a better future for people and nature.

Gain new skills or share your existing ones. We offer ongoing learning and development opportunities for all our volunteers, and we value the knowledge you bring to help us grow together.

Spending time in nature and giving back has proven benefits for mental and physical health. As a volunteer, you’ll enjoy access to our beautiful woodland sites and the chance to be part of something truly meaningful.
