Corporate Volunteering

We offer tailored Corporate and Group Volunteer Days designed to meet your organisation’s needs. Please email us to discuss your requirements and plan your day.

No prior experience is required, as all volunteers are supervised by our experienced team. We simply ask that participants wear clothes they do not mind getting muddy and bring wellington boots or sturdy footwear.

Holding volunteer days involves preparation, supervision and materials. We ask that corporate groups contribute towards refreshments, tools, equipment and materials used during the day, as well as a fee to cover team supervision and administration costs associated with planning. As a registered charity, we do not charge VAT. Contributions directly support the charity, upkeep of the stables, the care of our horses and our wider community work.

We recognise that volunteering is not a regular day at work, and we believe it is important that all volunteers have a clear understanding of how they will spend their time with us.

A typical volunteering day schedule is as follows:

9:00am at the Stables, where your group will be welcomed with tea or coffee, introduced to the team, briefed on the day’s activities and given a full health and safety induction. Boots and gloves will be provided as needed.

9:30am to 12:30pm, volunteers will collect tools and head to their assigned tasks.

Activities may include grooming and brushing horses, cleaning tack, painting and maintenance work, clearing cobwebs in the stables, gardening, or cutting back bushes and outdoor areas.

There is the option of a short mid-morning break if required.

12:30pm to 1:30pm Volunteers should bring a packed lunch. Alternatively, there is a café within a six-minute walk in the park and a Tesco approximately ten minutes away.

1:30pm to 3:00pm, either continuing the morning’s project or moving on to a new task.

3:00pm, the group will begin packing away tools, tidying work areas and washing up, finishing at approximately 3:30pm to 4:00pm.
