Volunteering is easier than you think

You can give as much or as little time as you like.

How it actually starts

We make it embarrassingly easy to say yes.

STEP 1

Fill in the form (or just email us)

Tell us roughly what you might want to do. "I have no idea" is a perfectly normal answer.

STEP 2

Coffee or a chat at the hut

No pitch. Just figuring out what fits — your skills, your time, your sanity.

STEP 3

Come to a meeting

Watch what we do. Help if you want. Vanish if it's not for you. No hard feelings.

Tell us you're interested

We'll get back to you as soon as we can — no obligation.

We'll get back to you as soon as we can — no obligation. Not sure which role fits? Just say so. "I have no idea" is a perfectly normal answer — we'll figure it out over a cup of tea.
