We are currently looking for volunteers to support our Walk and Talk Counselling team at our community garden in Fleet. We are looking for someone for who is available on a Friday morning from 10:00 until 13:00.

The role involves the following and a full induction will be given: 

  • Three to four hours of your time per session. Be prepared to unlock the gate and lock up at the end with the counsellors. 
  • Ensuring the counsellor(s) have everything they need. 
  • Meeting 2-6 clients, staying with them, making sure they are comfortable until their counselling session begins. 
  • Ensuring that the counsellors have returned at the designated time and following up if they have not
  • Moving forwards there may be the possibility to participate in some light gardening and/or jobs while on site but this is not confirmed and will not be mandatory

  • Patient
