Description
If you’re looking for a volunteering opportunity within an inspirational team that really does make a difference to people’s lives, this is your opportunity to join our volunteer team at Park Cottage – Midlothian.
Park Cottage supports the people of Midlothian by providing a safe and empathetic space for people to stay for a period of recovery.
Our passion is recovery focus through person centered care, and we are looking for a volunteer to help us establish and maintain our garden so we can use it to connect the people we support with nature.
No professional experience is required. We do however have 2 large gardens which are desperate for some love and attention. The gardens would benefit from some grass cutting, weeding, planting new flowers and we would love a new veggie patch to grow our own house produce. There will also be help from our amazing staff and the people we support but they may at times need a guiding hand.
