Milestones Trust is a health and social care charity supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and complex behavioural needs. The Trust provides residential, nursing and supported living services to around 500 people living in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset areas.
We are looking for a volunteer who loves gardening to help maintain the garden of our homes in Sea Mills. This is a great opportunity to make a difference to the lives of the people living in these homes, who enjoy sitting outside and spending time in the garden.
Can you help?
If you are a hands-on person and are looking to make a difference by utilising your skills this would be a great opportunity for you. Tasks will include trimming bushes, hedges, general tidying and helping the people we support plan what they would like to do with the garden. Until recently, the space was very overgrown and everything has been cut back so this is a great opportunity to keep it looking lovely!
The role would ideally be one day fortnightly or monthly depending on what you are working on and what needs doing. The day can be flexible to suit you.
We can cover travel expenses and will liaise about what gardening tools and materials are needed.
For all our volunteer roles a DBS check will be carried out and two references will be taken up. All volunteers can attend a volunteer induction and will be supported by both the volunteer team and a member of staff in the service too.
Please get in touch if you are interested in this role and would like to receive a volunteer application form (standard or easy read). If filling out forms aren't for you, please give us a call and we can take down your details.
