Garden Leaders and Garden Assistants
At their sessions, groups of up to 8 teens are supported by garden enthusiast adult volunteers. Sessions are led by a Garden Leader, who ideally needs to have a reasonable knowledge of horticulture, along with at least two adult Garden Assistants, who need to be interested in gardening (though not necessarily super experienced), as well as keen to help teens.Support & Admin Team
Green Hub has been incredibly lucky in that pretty much all the support and admin is done by volunteers, to offer what they can, when they can. Everyone has unique skills, and we are really interested to know what yours are.
If you like the sound of what we do and are keen to join our team, make contact and we can often develop a role to fit your skills. We have a whole range of requirements that fit under the ‘marketing’ banner, possibly working with referrers (eg, reaching out the GPs and schools) and others that are admin and operational.
Ideally you need to be able to offer 4 to 7 hours a week and be reasonably IT literate and well organised. Roles can be working from home, or from our Head Offices in Witley Station at times and availability to sit you.
Here are some options you might like to get involved with. That said, we hate saying NO and can usually find something that would suit you – you may be able to offer something we haven’t even thought of yet!
Referrer coordinator
- Getting our message out to busy professionals – local GPs, school welfare leads, mental health professionals and so on – is critical if we are to keep our groups running at full capacity, ensuring we help the maximum number of young people. Which is why we are looking for a couple of volunteers who would be able to help us keep communicating with this vital group of referrers.
- It might be that you’ve worked in schools in the past, or for the NHS – or are a parent who’s ‘been there, seen it and done it’! Whatever your background, you need to be someone who’s keen to make a difference and who can spare 2 – 4 hours a week doing something really valuable.
Blog writer
- You might be good with words and have an interest in the world of wellbeing / mental health / young people. In which case, you might like to research, say, and article once a month / 2 months for us.
- You might have background in marketing or creative writing – or it might just be that you are passionate about the subject.
Admin assistant
- Now that we have our had offices in Witley, we have a small staff team that coordinates most of the operational bits. But there are always projects on the go – whether it’s sending out our Christmas cards, coordinating raffle prizes, ordering new workwear – all sorts.
- We could definitely carve out a role for someone who wants to become part of the Witley team for a morning / afternoon /day a week.

Garden Maintenance and Witley Wellbeing Garden
Whilst our goal is to get our teens out in the gardens doing the gardening, in reality there are often bits that need doing in between sessions. If you enjoy being in the outdoors, and gardening is your ‘thing’, then we’d love to get you on board:
General garden maintenance
General garden maintenance- This is mostly based at our Milford garden, and means keeping the garden in good order between sessions. watering, weeding and so on. There is small team and sometimes it’s nice to work together and other times it might mean popping in on your own. Our annual Open Garden is always something to work towards.
Witley Wellbeing Garden
Witley Wellbeing Garden - When we took on Witley Station House as our new head offices in June ’25, we hadn’t realised what it might become. we were encouraged to ‘adopt’ the station and have been given funding by the Community Rail Network. We now have a great team of local volunteers helping us create the Green Hub Wellbeing Garden at Witley Station, and we are getting great positive engagement with the local community. If you are local to Witley, this might be right up your street (literally!).
Community Fundraiser
As Green Hub has got bigger, our need for funds has got bigger too. We are still pretty lean as an organisation, but we need to keep the funds flowing and relying on large trusts and funds can be precarious – they are highly oversubscribed and often come with significant restrictions on how the money can be spent.
Which is why Community Fundraising is so important – finding ways of generating cash locally that we are able to directly control. Things like running events, retail (plant sales, Christmas Cards, Raffles), community organisations and local business partnerships and donations.
Right from the start, Green Hub has been led by local business owners who understand the importance of local connections and personal contacts. So, if you’ve got experience in making connections, creating opportunities and ‘sealing the deal’ then we can give you the freedom to deploy your skills with potentially huge impact. Our hallmark has been in finding roles to fit people’s strengths and if you’d like to share your fundraising skills with us we’d be really delighted to have you in our team.
