Fancy volunteering?

Learn something new, meet new people and get involved in your community...

The benefits of volunteering for you are limitless. And for us they are vital.

Many of our parks and places are looking for people like to you. From specific roles such as helping in our visitor centres to growing fruit, vegetables and flowers, woodwork and DIY or working with our beekeepers, to more general maintenance we have a wide variety of volunteering roles to suit you.

There is no experience necessary, but if you have particular skills and knowledge or are interested in a particular area we’d also love to hear from you.

To express your interest please email us, make sure to include the name of the site you are interested in volunteering at:

explore.essex@essex.gov.uk

or call the park directly.

Read more about the opportunities at each park or place under 'activities' on the individual web page. Find a site near you here.

Donate

Some of our individual places have boxes so that you can make a donation at your own discretion when you visit.

We are working on setting up other ways to donate, watch this space!
