Volunteers needed to support a Young Volunteers group (13-17 year olds) in North Cumbria
We wish to enhance Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s work with young volunteers aged 13-17. The group will be based in the north of the county at our Gosling Sike office, with plans to travel to reserves or sites owned by partners.
The group will initially be organised by Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s volunteering coordinator, with skilled staff leading the physical conservation sessions. Volunteers will be asked to become supportive figures to help the young attendees successfully get involved in a range of nature-based activities, from physical outdoor work to indoor campaigning to community-based volunteering.
The volunteers will be needed for a range of tasks including completing head counts, filling in paperwork, contributing to planning sessions, working with a group to support them in developing skills such as surveying and monitoring, and ensuring no one is left out.
No specific skills are needed but volunteers must genuinely enjoy working with people. DBS checks will be sought due to the nature of the work.
Potentially suitable for wheelchair users. We would welcome a conversation with volunteers to see how we could make this work.
Role not suitable for under 16s
Location: Based at Gosling Sike with plans to travel to sites across the north of the county
Commitment: The group will meet monthly on the first Sunday of the month, from 10am to 2pm. There is some discussion about running more flexible sessions to meet the Duke of Edinburgh awards criteria. This is to be decided.
Training/Resources: Opportunities for training, such as First Aid training and safeguarding, will become available.

Job description
Location: Cumbria, County wide
Learn new skills in the mountains of the Lake District whilst monitoring restored peatland sites.
The role will include collecting data from an upland peatbog site that has undergone restoration, within the Lake District National Park.
No previous experience is necessary, though a willingness to spend time in the mountains where weather conditions can change very quickly is essential. Some experience being in and navigating through mountainous environments is beneficial.
You’ll be keeping track of how well peatlands are recovering after restoration, and feeding this data back to Cumbria Wildlife Trust. Therefore, your work will be vital in ensuring that the good work undertaken during restoration continues to benefit wildlife that rely on this habitat. You’ll receive full training for this role, with the opportunity to attend several training sessions over the next 6 months.
Initially, you’ll need to attend a minimum of two training sessions whilst we set up the project. These are 1 day per session. Once you’ve been trained and feel comfortable with the work, you’ll be able to go out and monitor a site which is designated to you. This would require just 1 day of monitoring per year, though you’d be welcome to complete more monitoring through the year should you wish to.
This project has been funded by the Farming in Protected Landscapes team (FiPL) which is part of the Lake District National Park Authority.
This volunteer opportunity is with our partner organisation Ozawa Wildlife
Ozawa Wildlife is one of Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s partner organisations on the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) peatland restoration work. This project looks to monitor the development of six areas that have been restored within the last five years, to monitor it, and to flag up any areas of particular interest or concern which can then be followed up by trained members of staff.

Job description
Our amazing team of volunteers helps us run over 600 shops. Our stores sell lots of great donated and new goods to help to raise vital funds. These funds are then used to make a real difference to disadvantaged children, young people and their families across the UK.
Over 60 donation centres receive and distribute 100’s of bags of stock every single week. All of these donations need to be lifted and shifted so they end up in the right shops - we don’t require a weightlifter, but you will be need to be physically fit to help move the many donations we receive.
As well as working up a sweat, our donation centres also sell a variety of stock which all need processing and putting on the shop floor. Making sure our shops look fantastic is another task you can get involved with. You may also be required to help out on the till once in a while, but we will show you how that works during your time volunteering with us. We value the contribution of everyone who supports Barnardo’s.
You will be a friendly face of Barnardo’s by volunteering in one of our shops. It would be great if you could volunteer one shift a week (or even more if you want) but we’re always happy to be flexible to work around your availability.
