Volunteer with Greenspace

West Dunbartonshire Council Greenspace are looking for volunteers to help with a variety of tasks and activities across West Dunbartonshire.

Volunteering is good for our physical and mental wellbeing, especially during these recent difficult times.

So if you love your environment and being outdoors and would like to meet new people, please join us with whatever time you have to spare. Volunteering will give you the opportunity to use your existing skills and knowledge, learn more skills, increase confidence and socialise in the outdoors. Tasks are for all abilities are available and no previous experience is needed. All equipment provided.

Unfortunately, we are unable to take any volunteers under 16 years of age unless they are accompanied by an adult that is also signed up as a volunteer and they must undertake all activities together. Please get in touch using the details below if you would like to discuss this further.
