Work programme
Volunteers work on a range of projects on Parliament Hill and the East Heath, at Golders Hill Park and the West Heath, and on the Kenwood estate.
Volunteers receive a booking form every six weeks and regular newsletters giving advanced notice of all activities and special events. Volunteers can also participate in a variety of workshops, wreath making at Christmas, and specially organised away days at other City of London Corporation open spaces.
Please note that booking is essential for all sessions. Below is an example of our current work programme.
