Volunteer opportunities at Lyveden

Join our team

There are lots of new volunteer roles to get involved with, whether you’ve got lots of time or a little, there are opportunities to suit everyone. Volunteering is a great way to gain confidence, meet new people and develop your skills.

'In quiet times, listening to the birds or watching the red kites and gliders soar overhead. In busy times, meeting and chatting to interesting people. All this whilst knowing you are helping the conservation of a part of our countryside and history so that the area will not be lost to modern developments.'

- Sheila, welcome volunteer
