Volunteer in Birmingham

We have a wide range of volunteer roles, from client gardener support to events. We are very lucky to have a passionate team of regular volunteers and so can’t accept applications unless a vacancy is advertised below.

Most roles require references and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Our commitment to you

If you do join us as a volunteer, we ask that you commit to a regular number of hours and days, to be agreed with the staff team. For most roles, this is a full day 9.30-3.30. We then provide all necessary training, and support for your ongoing role. You’ll become part of a friendly team with opportunities to develop your skills for use at home, work or elsewhere.

We are not currently recruiting for new volunteers.

Leave the world of work for a rewarding and fun day in our gardens!

We have been running our extremely popular corporate group volunteering days together with our experienced horticultural therapists for a number of years. Our aim is to provide our corporate volunteers with a fun and rewarding day in the fresh air, with the opportunity to work hands-on in one of our beautiful gardens.

With our personal and friendly approach, you learn more about Thrive and see with your own eyes the great work we do with a wide range of people.

During our corporate volunteering days, you get to experience a great team-building opportunity, whilst supporting your local charity and making a positive difference to the lives of people living with disabilities or ill-health. Your team also gets to explore the many benefits of gardening and its effects on wellbeing and mental health.

The standard cost is £500 for up to 10 people or £1000 per day for up to 20 people maximum.
