Downham Market Countrysiders are looking for volunteers to help run our sessions.

Countrysiders is the 10-16 section of Norfolk Young Farmers. We currently have 7 groups meeting term time across the county. Downham meet at West Dereham Village Hall twice a month on Tuesdays.

Our sessions include games, crafting activities, sports, visitor talks and visits to farms and businesses relevant to farming and country living.

We have various events across the year with different competitions, a large stand at the Norfolk Show, an annual
Countrysider campout and an end of year party.

We have a thriving group of over 20 kids and need an enthusiastic adult or 2 who can commit to helping a couple of times a month, undertake some short safeguarding training and complete a DBS (at our expense).

If you’re interested please contact Abby on 07513511435 or email us at [email protected]

We look forward to welcoming you to the team and working with you!
