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 th

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, community orchard and wildlife management.
Have a look at the volunteering opportunities below and please contact us if you are interested.
Heritage project
The St Anns Allotments has a rich social and cultural history which we are trying to bring to life. As part of this work, we are looking for volunteers to be involved in the following areas of work
- Recording oral history

Wildlife management
Ten per cent of the 670 plots on the St Anns Allotments are managed to encourage and enhance the natural history of the site. 
We are looking for volunteers to help with activities from clearance of scrub and overgrown plots to putting up nesting boxes and habitat creation.
