The Spike Heritage Centre is one of the few buildings remaining from Guildford's Workhouse in the Poor Law era, which housed the forgotten classes of Victorian England. Individual visitors and groups are welcome to explore this unique building with guides providing the insight about how the poor were treated in a bygone age.
We look after an old workhouse building which has a number of small flower beds that need care and attention by someone with some gardening experience. Watering can be carried out by other volunteers who are also on hand for any heavy tasks but a couple of caring hours each week to help keep the gardens well cared for is what we need.
What skills do I need?
An interest in gardening and some past experience would be great

We staff the heritage centre known as the Spike on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 until 15:00. If you can spare a couple of hours a week during those times then you'll have the opportunity to socialise with our other volunteers. Alternatively, access to the gardens can be made available at any time of the week.
