How you can help
The Carrs is cared for by volunteers and runs on goodwill. There are several ways to support us.
🌿 Volunteer your time
Friends of the Carrs is an entirely voluntary organisation. We receive very limited funding but do our best to maintain The Carrs and run events throughout the year. If you have time to spare and love the outdoors, we’d love to hear from you — no experience needed, just enthusiasm and a pair of wellies.

🛠️ Trade and grounds assistance
From time to time we need specialist grounds maintenance that goes beyond what our volunteers can manage alone. We’d particularly welcome support from garden maintenance companies and landscaping firms in the area — whether that’s lending manpower for a day, donating the use of equipment, or helping with a specific project. Any contribution, large or small, makes a real difference.

📬 Stay connected
The best way to keep up with working parties, events and news from The Carrs is to follow our Facebook group or subscribe to email updates. We post regularly and you’ll always know what’s happening before it happens. New volunteers especially welcome — the more hands, the merrier.
