Do you like pottering in the open air with birdsong all around in a peaceful environment?
Would you like to boost your mental health, make new friends and be part of a community project?

We are looking for some volunteers who have an hour or two spare each week to help us at our Brynamman growing site. We are growing fruit and vegetables to help people with food insecurity.
We are also looking for volunteers to help us maintain the plots and grounds of Canolfan Maerdy. Watering, weeding, mowing, pottering, chatting, enjoying the company and friendship that comes with it.

The volunteer sessions at our Brynamman garden will be most Tuesday afternoons between 1- 4pm.
The volunteer session at Canolfan Maerdy will be most Wednesday afternoons between 1- 4pm.

For each session, come and spend as little or as much time as you like.
