Volunteering days for your team

Team Challenges: Group and Corporate Volunteering

We’d be thrilled to organise a meaningful Volunteering Day (or a few) for your business or organisation, allowing you to purposely get involved in the community, make an impact, create positive change and meet your corporate social responsibility goals.

At the Farm we always need help with a wide range of tasks and projects. The Team Challenge you undertake will depend on the time of year you’re attending, the size and ability of the group, your budget and any seasonal priorities.

As well as helping a great local charity, business or organisation volunteering is a great way to connect people who wouldn’t normally work together, it enhances communication, develops team skills and creates opportunities for cross-collaboration that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Costs

As a charity, we charge £35 per person to help cover the cost of running your Team Challenge or Group Volunteering Day (or a minimum of £250 per day).

This covers:

  • Staff to support your group
  • Materials and equipment required for your task
  • Supply of protective gear and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day

We’re able to work with most budgets therefore if you have a little more, you can choose a larger project or we can tailor the task to suit a smaller budget. If you’re tasked with fundraising the money, we can help with ideas, sponsorship forms and publicity.

You can also tailor your day by adding a buffet lunch (at additional cost) from the award winning Farm Café, a guided Farm tour, use of Boiling Wells for an after session BBQ, or hire a breakout room for more formal meeting or training session.
