Later down the line, you’ll also make a difference in your community by taking on your own project. From regenerating a garden to creating a short film to inspire people to make a change, you’ll do everything from planning, fundraising and rolling up your sleeves to get the job done.
There are load of other activities and skills your develop too, please see below for more details.
Team runs several times throughout the year, so please contact us and register your details if you'd like to take part.
