Do you love flowers and plants? Do you enjoy meeting new people? Then we have the role for you! We need help at our Open Garden Event taking place on Monday 26 May 2025. Our volunteers lend a hand on the day directing people and serving tea and cakes on the day. Before the event our volunteers promote their local event to friends, colleagues and neighbours. If you think you have the skills needed, have a few hours to spare and would like to join the team, please get in touch! We look forward to meeting you! Diversity Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone. Health and Safety Statement We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment.
