Find something that suits you
Support does not have to mean a large or permanent commitment. An occasional hour, a useful introduction or a particular skill can all make a difference.
Share a skill
Offer practical, creative, professional or organisational experience that could support a project.
Support the Field
Help with suitable maintenance activities, community communication or plans for future improvements.
Become a sponsor
Support the Trust or an event as a local organisation and help community activity continue.
Community events
Many hands make event day possible
Bonfire Night, Feast & Fayre, the Five Mile Run and Santa Special each depend on people stepping forward.
Ways to help vary by event and year. They might involve preparation, welcoming visitors, supporting activities, marshalling, practical tasks or helping everything finish tidily.

What could you bring?
Community projects benefit from a wide mixture of experience. If you think something you know or do could help, we would be pleased to hear from you.
You might have practical knowledge, event experience, design or photography skills, fundraising ideas, useful local contacts, administrative experience or simply the enthusiasm to join in.
