We’re reigniting the Friends of Astwood volunteers’ group, which sadly closed in 2014. Without volunteers, our cemeteries couldn’t thrive as a wildlife and visitor haven as well as a working business.
Volunteers come from all walks of life, for all sorts of reasons. You don’t need to be an expert — just someone who cares about our sites and enjoys being part of them.
Help maintain and develop the garden areas, the natural burial area and the brook, and get involved in tree work, wildlife surveys and even basic beekeeping. Learn as you go.
Help look after the site at weekends and bank holidays, walking round to help visitors and check all is in order. Work in pairs, with training and equipment provided.
Lend a hand with events and chapel support on an ad hoc basis. Each year we bring volunteers together to share stories and ideas.
