FRP welcomes people from all backgrounds as volunteers.  Our volunteering is organised in a programme called Green Champions, that is designed to help us achieve our environmental and social aims, whilst increasing positive mental wellbeing and confidence.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide distinctive and rewarding volunteering opportunities which make a real and positive difference for our volunteers, whether through being a stepping stone into a job, giving a boost to overall well-being, or helping be a greater part of the local community and meet new people.
FRP involves volunteers in a range of ways – please look at the opportunities below.
FRP has an email newsletter with volunteering opportunities at FRP and other local environmental organisations and projects, and a general newsletter.  Please sign up to receive our newsletters here.  Both newsletters will be sent approximately monthly.
