We also have some wonderful volunteering opportunities on campus! The University Community Garden was set up and run by staff and student volunteers. They also work closely with community groups who want to get involved in the garden.

A grassroots project run by students, staff and members of the community. The garden aims to provide training and educational sessions as well as general opportunities to grow fruit and vegetables. The garden is communal, with everyone helping out and taking home a share of the produce. We operate at regular times throughout the year and run education sessions each month. Please check out the facebook page or email for more information.
