For many years the Friends of Broomfield Park volunteers have been welcoming local primary schools to visit the park for
educational activities and learn about nature and wildlife on their doorstep.
As the programme expands to include more school groups, attending multiple educational workshops, we need to more volunteers to support the visits. Last year, almost 200 children from years one and two in local primary schools took park in workshop activities at Broomfield Park. As we prepare for a new term of school visits we want to hear from people who are interested in joining the team to help youngsters understand the significance of preserving the ecosystem and biodiversity at Broomfield Park.
Our current dedicated team of volunteers generously contribute their time to design, plan and deliver these sessions. Volunteers come from a range of backgrounds including teachers, GPs, microbiologists, corporate business and many more. But no special expertise is needed to participate - we will organise induction events to familiarise new recruits with our workshops and the existing volunteer leaders.
If you think you might may be interested in joining the school volunteer team -
please complete this form and we will get back to you with an invitation to a new volunteers introduction session - no obligation!
