Allotment helper

For Mind in West Essex

Register your interest

We're looking for people to volunteer, as individuals or in small groups, at our Community Allotment in the Saffron Walden area!

Our vision is for local people to be involved in all parts of running the allotment – from planning, building beds and planting, to watering and ongoing maintenance.

Getting outdoors, moving more and learning new skills all have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing, which is why we’re so passionate about this project.

We’ve cleared the space, replaced the fence so that it’s a safe place to go and built a shed.

Now, we need your help to get the allotment up and running – we have beds to build, prepare and sow; a shed to waterproof; a planting schedule to create; ongoing maintenance to do and more.


What skills do I need?

No specific skills required, just a love of gardening, being outdoors and physical activity
