Willowbrook Farm Charity

Willowbrook Farm Charity exists to create nurturing educational and cultural spaces in the Oxfordshire countryside that are welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to communities who have been historically underrepresented in rural environments — including people from racialised backgrounds, neurodivergent individuals, and young people with diverse learning needs.

In partnership with Willowbrook Farm (www  willowbrookfarm  co  uk), where we host our activities, we aim to build a nationally recognised centre of excellence that supports personal growth, wellbeing, and connection with nature. Through hands-on learning, community building, and cultural exchange, we empower individuals and groups to explore sustainable living, ethical land stewardship, and the transformative potential of nature-based education.

Our Values

Community
We foster a culture of care, connection, and belonging. We create space for people to come together in joy, learning, and mutual support, building relationships rooted in respect and shared purpose.

Stewardship
We honour the land as a living system and recognise that the wellbeing of people and nature are deeply interconnected. We are committed to nurturing the next generation of ethical and responsible stewards — who care for the earth, each other, and future generations.

Equity & Inclusion
We are dedicated to removing barriers so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities can access and participate fully in experiences of farming, countryside living, and sustainability. We celebrate diversity and work to create welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive.

Connection with Nature
We centre our actions on a deep respect for the natural world. We believe in restoring and nurturing the bond between humans and nature, creating a place where both can flourish in harmony.

Pob blwyddyn, mae miloedd o bobl yn y DU yn wynebu’r llys ar eu pen eu hunain. Heb gymorth, mae’n rhaid i unigolion gynrychioli eu hunain wrth fynd trwy un o gyfnodau anoddaf eu bywyd, megis wynebu ysgariad, ceisio sicrhau gofal eu plant, neu wynebu cael eu troi allan o’u cartref. Mae gormod o bobl yn cael eu gadael mewn penbleth, wedi’u gorfodi i lywio system gyfreithiol gymhleth ar eu pennau eu hunain

Rydym yn sefyll ochr yn ochr â phobl sy'n teimlo nad oes ganddynt unman arall i droi. Rydym yn darparu gwasanaeth am ddim ledled Cymru a Lloegr, gan gynnig cymorth ac arweiniad cyn, yn ystod, ac ar ôl achos llys. Rydym yn sicrhau nad yw pobl sy'n wynebu'r llys ar eu pennau eu hunain, gan archwilio'r agweddau ymarferol ac yn eu paratoi i wynebu'r llys ag urddas a hyder.

Gall cymorth ein gwirfoddolwyr gael effaith uniongyrchol ar ganlyniad achos ein cleientiaid ac ar weddill eu bywydau.

• Helpu cleientiaid i gynllunio’r hyn yr hoffent ei ddweud yn y llys
• Mynychu gwrandawiadau llys gwyneb yn wyneb/o bell

Mae profiad cyfreithiol yn werthfawr, ond nid yw'n hanfodol. Rydym yn chwilio am bobl sydd â'r empathi, y menter, a'r ymrwymiad i ddod o hyd i ddatrysiad. Nid ydym yn cynnig cyngor cyfreithiol, ac ble bynnag y gallwn, byddwn yn cyfeirio cleientiaid at sefydliad perthnasol arall.

Sut byddwn yn eich cefnogi

Rydym yn elusen sy’n cael ei pharchu, ac mae gwirfoddolwyr yn chwarae rôl allweddol yn ein gwaith. Byddwch yn gweithio gyda'r Rheolwr Gwasanaeth a fydd yn rhoi hyfforddiant i chi.

Every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background. Action Tutoring is a charity dedicated to closing the attainment gap and creating a more equitable future for young people.

We're building a diverse community of tutors passionate about educational equity. We are seeking dedicated volunteers from all walks of life to tutor and support pupils facing socio-economic disadvantage in maths and English.

As a volunteer tutor, you’ll:

• Tutor a group of 1-3 pupils (primary or secondary), with options to support online or in-person.

• Dedicate just one hour a week for a 10-20 week programme.

We provide the resources - you bring your enthusiasm! You’ll use our workbooks to deliver your sessions.

Whether you're a university student, a working professional, retired or simply looking to give back, your hour a week can open doors to brighter futures for these young people and make a lasting impact.

What you'll gain:

• Comprehensive training (2-hour induction, technical training for online tutors, optional further skills training).

• Ongoing support from your dedicated programme coordinator.

• Structured session plans and workbooks.

• Travel expense reimbursement (up to £5 per session).

• Free DBS check.

• Optional tutor socials and buddy system.

We look for volunteers with:

• Solid subject knowledge in the area they wish to tutor, which may be demonstrated by a degree or grade B at A-level qualification (or equivalent) or relevant experience.

• The ability to explain concepts clearly and patiently.

• A commitment to supporting pupils’ academic progress.

We recognise that valuable experience can be gained through diverse routes. If your qualifications differ from those mentioned, we still encourage you to apply. Please highlight any relevant experience or skills in your application.

We welcome applications from volunteers across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. (Please note: This is a volunteer, unpaid position.)

Our programmes run during term time, and you can sign up at ay time throughout the year.

Our volunteers say:

" The Action Tutoring team has been fabulous in their support: timely updates, always available, closely following progress, and ready to intervene where needed, very professional indeed!"

"Volunteering is very rewarding. I would say the skills that one develops from teaching the pupils are transferable to any walk of life and make you a better person. I would highly recommend it."
