Investors in volunteers logo

At Nene Park Trust there are many ways you can volunteer to help us provide a permanent haven for heritage and wildlife and provide facilities for recreation, education and leisure.

Nene Park Trust volunteers make a huge difference both out and about in the park and also behind the scenes in all elements of our charity objectives. Find out more about how you can get involved and join our team. 

Please click here to register and start your volunteer journey with us

Alternatively you can email [email protected] or call us on 01733 234193 to arrange a face to face chat.

Please note that you need to be over 18 years old for our volunteer roles (unless otherwise stated).

If you would like to volunteer with us as a corporate group or organisation, rather than an individual, please visit our Corporate Conservation Days page, or get in touch via [email protected] to discuss further.

Nene Park Trust is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of its employees, volunteers and visitors. Our safeguarding policy is issued to all new volunteers as part of our induction process and has been created to ensure that all individuals coming into contact with the Trust are safe and free from harm and therefore, where appropriate, we ask our volunteers to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
