Volunteer in Dagenham

Dagenham Farm welcomes volunteers to help out with many tasks on the farm, including planting, weeding, watering and harvesting. We can find work to suit different strengths, abilities and preferences. Alice and Ashlea look forward to seeing you on the farm soon.

Pre-booking essential. You can request a space to volunteer with us on Thursday afternoons 12pm-3pm from 14 November 2024. (Our last session of 2024 will be on 19 December then we will restart on 6 February 2025.)

Register your interest and if there isn't a spot free now we'll be in touch as soon as one comes up. Please email us to let us know that you would like to come.
