United Response is a national charity which provides support to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, physical disabilities and mental health to live meaningful and fulfilling lives. We are looking for volunteers who want help out within their community and to make a difference to the lives of people we support.

The Project – Potters Den

Would you like to join our project and help with the renovation of our allotment on Cherry Tree Road? We are looking for volunteers to help us clear our site ready for renovation works to take place. Gardening has been proven to have therapeutic benefits by reducing isolation and improving wellbeing, encouraging people to get outside and connect with nature. It also enables people to connect with others within the communities they live.

What skills do I need?

Responsibilities – what will I be doing?

The role will be to help clear our allotment plot to make way for a full makeover. Following a mass clear up we will be looking for volunteering support to help us renovate the plot, making the site fully accessible for the people we support to learn new skills, build confidence and meet new people.

Skills and experience

We are looking for people who want to make a difference to the people we support and at the same time meet new people and get involved in your local community. No experience needed, however if you do have any knowledge of gardening, DIY, this would be more than welcomed.
