I feel incredibly privileged to spend time as a volunteer at Wallington. Although I have only been a volunteer for 1 month, it has been an amazing opportunity to spend my time productively in the tranquil and beautiful gardens. Welcomed by an incredible team, I am learning new skills every week and love working outdoors. I look forward to every volunteer day and can’t wait to see the changes the different seasons offer.

Thank you 

Thank you to all our volunteers who give their time to support the National Trust in many different roles. 

In my 18th year of volunteering at Wallington, there's something about the place that makes it a pleasure to return each time. I enjoy explaining to visitors what to see and where to go, passing on the stories and generally helping them enjoy their experience. And there's always something new to discover and every day is different.
