Volunteer with us

Volunteer with Bluebell Wood and you can learn new things, meet new people and know you’re making a difference. We think all our volunteers are amazing, and whether you're a green-fingered guru, an outstanding organiser or an Ebay egghead, we'd love to hear from you.

From baking to bucket collecting, we need volunteers to help us make the most of every opportunity that comes our way. We’re very proud of our amazing volunteers and we’re incredibly grateful too. Their skill and dedication means that we can offer specialist services to our children and families.

We’re always on the lookout for fantastic people to join our team, so if you have the time, we’ll find the perfect place for you. We’re delighted to say that in 2012 we were presented with The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK. We’ve also been accredited with the Rotherham Volunteer Kitemark Plus, which means you’ll be in safe hands when you volunteer for us.

Is it a big commitment?

We have volunteers who help us every other Tuesday, for a few hours each Saturday or just at term time to fit round school.

No, it doesn’t have to be. We have volunteers who help us every other Tuesday, for a few hours each Saturday, term time only to fit round school, or on set dates for events- so whatever time you can give, we’re incredibly grateful.
