Bognor Library Community Garden Volunteer

For Aldingbourne Trust

The purpose of the Bognor library community garden project is to create fun and educational space for children who use the library, but to also engage with the local community by way of volunteers who will help maintain the space.

Being part of the Community Garden volunteering group is a great way to learn new skills, meet people in a welcoming environment and have wonderful discussions, keep physically fit as well getting out in the fresh air.

Skills

We are currently recruiting volunteers to help out with digging, painting, plant clinic (monthly) and landscaping – even if just for a few hours.

About Aldingbourne Trust

The Aldingbourne Trust is dedicated to helping local businesses, communities and people with learning disabilities to reach their potential and enjoy life, together.

We are committed to the support and well-being of people with learning disabilities by developing their skills, helping them gain employment in the local community and encouraging them to lead more fulfilled, independent lives. Many of the people we support also have physical disabilities and our expertise ensures their lives are contented and secure.

With our support and consistent attitude towards diversity, equality and inclusion for all, people with learning disabilities can achieve more control over their lives and futures and make informed changes for the better.

There are a number of sites that provide day and training opportunities. At the Country Centre in Chichester there are opportunities to work in Horticulture, Wood Recycling, Crafts, Catering and Retail. We also have an open farm where you can work with animals. In Aldwick we have a Creative Arts Hub at our drop-in centre, where you can paint, draw and create.
