What will I do?
There will be a variety of different roles available;
•Driving the van to collect trees
•Being a passenger in the van navigating to the next collection postcode
•Being at the hub unloading the vans of the trees
•Phoning customers to arrange missed tree collections If you have access to your own van this would be great!
Please note the role of collecting the trees is quite physical so we do ask that you are fit and well to take part in that role with no pre existing injuries.
The day is a great team working day with lots of volunteers helping and refrehments available.
Team working , organisation and communication skills.
No specific skills required we are just looking for people that are enthusiastic and able to come with a hands on approach. Due to it being quite a physical opportunity we would ask that volunteers have no pre- existing conditions or injuries.
