Volunteering on the St Anns Allotments
Volunteers play a valuable and important role on the St Anns Allotments and are vital in supporting the work of STAA and the various community groups on site. 
If you feel you have some time to offer and are interested in getting involved we have a range of activities available including the heritage project, wildlife management, the community orchard and work around the site.
Have a look at the volunteering opportunities below and please contact us if you are interested.
