Let's get involved
If you would like to get involved with us there are many different
ways to choose from.
Become a volunteer, join one of our food growing clubs or get a
group of collegues together and
spend the day helping the waterloo community.
Volunteers
Our current volunteers are working on the following projects
Childrens Environmental clubs
run after school and on saturdays on local estates, volunteers gain
experience working with children, helping to run gardening and creative
sessions. No experience is nessisary allthough an interest in gardening
or creative work is helpfull. Volunteers work alongside a WGT
member of staff and enable children to have greater support in the
activities each week.

Waterloo Gardening sessions
volunteers who enjoy gardening or would like to learn more are helping
on community gardens in watterloo. This year our volunteers have
helped at Blackfriars Settlement, Waterloo Action Center, Play space,
living space balcony, Buffer Bears nursery and on the Waterloo
Millennium Green.
Tasks will change seasonally and from site to site, and include bulb
planting, pruning, weeding, collecting leaves, chipping, growing plants
from seed clearing plants and other general maintenance tasks.
Food growing clubs

Why not join one of our food growing clubs and experience the excitement of eating food you have nurtured from seed. No experience is necessary although an interest in gardening is helpful.
