Volunteering
Mayfield Garden Centre values the work and skills that volunteers bring. We provide a range of volunteering opportunities focused around the day to day running of the garden centre as well as supporting us with the delivery of our programmes and courses.
Our volunteers receive training, induction and ongoing support.
We currently have 28 volunteers at Mayfield Garden Centre, plus regular corporate volunteer days where teams from local businesses come in and help.
Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and we offer roles in wellbeing, horticulture and our cafe. We also welcome volunteers in our community gardens project, Plants For People.
Being able to offer volunteering opportunities is a great way to involve our local community, help people build confidence, learn new skills, meet new people and can even lead to employment opportunities, evidenced in our current staff team.
Many of our volunteers wish to 'give back' and support a local charity, but it also enables us to create a supportive environment for anyone who visits Mayfield.
Mayfield has a wonderful feeling of calm. The staff are so kind and hardworking, nothing is too much trouble. I will forever be grateful for all they have done for me at the most difficult time of my life. Safe, friendly and inspiring. It is so nice to volunteer here, to give something back to an incredible team.
