Each project has been given a budget to transform the garden at their property. Although we want this group to be client led, we recognise that someone who can take an organisational lead is essential to it working.

Every volunteer regardless of role will have their initial induction.  During this induction you be taken through a PowerPoint presentation and be issued with ‘Not Just a Volunteer’ handbook. The induction will cover Professional Boundaries, Safeguarding and Equality and Diversity and be a chance for you to ask any questions.
