Welcome to Compass; a project navigating healthy, sustainable living! *About the project: In September 2020, medical charity, Camphill Wellbeing Trust, took on the former Waldorf school site at Craigton Road to transform it into a centre demonstrating practical solutions for healthy, sustainable lifestyles. The mixed natural environment of Compass with its woodland and garden areas offers a wide range of opportunities including fruit, vegetable & flower growing, working in & enjoying the outdoors and observing & encouraging wildlife, including beekeeping. We use organic methods onsite and reuse/recycle as much as possible. Compass has 4 buildings onsite which we are sustainably refurbishing with the support of various funding bodies. This also gives opportunities for those with suitable skills to help with the project. *We need your help at Compass! Compass offers a wide range of volunteering activities to suit a all sorts of interests and skills. Activities are generally outdoors so will vary according to the weather and the season. *Volunteer support can often be related to: • Gardening: preparing ground, planting, potting up, watering, weeding, harvesting •Woodland care and monitoring: counting trees, pruning, collecting fallen branches, chipping wood, stacking logs • Painting: sheds, fencing, plant/tree markers and signage • Constructing: raised beds, compost bins, green pathways • Equipment maintenance: cleaning and storing handheld tools • Refurbishment: helping strip out buildings prior to refurbishment. We hope in the future to offer further indoor activities: for example, upcycling furniture, candle making, food processing. During your first session, one of our Compass team will go over Compass Health & Safety, explain more about the project and share the current tasks we need support with.

Murton Trust is a registered charity and Murton Farm, Tea Room and Nature Reserve is also a popular visitor attraction based 2 miles outside of Forfar, Angus and currently has opportunities for anyone interested in volunteering. Do you have a few hours to spare? Would you like to get involved in helping Murton Trust? As an adult volunteer with us you can share a particular skill you have whether that be organisational providing office support, photography social media and estate management. However, experience or specific skill set is not needed as we will provide training to volunteers. If you have the ability to work independently this is highly advantageous, however, should you require a bit of support this is also available for a limited number of people too. If you are interested or would like to find out more please get in touch.
