Wilderness Volunteers
Volunteer Roles
Wilderness Foundation UK volunteers make a difference.
- Some help troubled young people turn their lives around.
- Some work outdoors to help preserve wild spaces.
- Some accomplish both goals by working on fundraising and public awareness campaigns.
- All gain the satisfaction of contributing to the wellbeing of our communities and our planet.
Most volunteer opportunities are in and around Essex and the London area. Work on fundraising and public awareness can take place anywhere.
Volunteer Quotes
My name is Christine Smith and I have volunteered in the office at the Wilderness Foundation since April 2014.
Having retired I looked for a way that I could give something back to the community. I enjoy the people and the varied work together with their appreciation of what I do which explains the length of time I have volunteered for the organization. I believe that in a small way I am saving individuals time so that the team can continue their valuable work.
I recently joined the Wilderness Foundation and was immediately welcomed and made to feel part of the team. Whether helping out with maintenance around the grounds; or working with the youth groups and sharing my enthusiasm for nature and the outdoors with them, every day here is different and it’s great fun being part of such an awesome charity!
