Volunteering

Whether you are interested in becoming a parish councillor, would like to help
look after our footpaths and open spaces, or want to help in some other way, volunteers make a valuable contribution to our community.

Rights of Way/footpaths work parties in the parish – if you would like to volunteer, or to find out more about what the Parish Council does with rights of way, please contact us.

The Parish Council is proud to support volunteering in the community and has signed the Valuing Volunteering Promise.

Many of our village groups seek volunteers, for gardening with StreetScene to driving for Village Link. There is an opportunity for everyone to be involved to support the community whatever your interests.
