About Volunteering

Most of our activities are run by volunteers, who might join us because they want to:

  • Try something new by learning to run an Activity
  • Make friends
  • Do something good for their community and themselves
  • Keep their bodies and brains active and happy – whether that’s by Fixing or Cleaning the Campsite, sharing skills, or serving tea 

All end up making a huge difference to young people’s lives – gifting them with skills for life, and learning a whole lot about themselves along the way.

Our regular volunteers get to become part of Frylands Wood, Tea’s and Coffee’s and not least your eventual award of a Frylands Wood Scarf to wear with pride, showing everyone you are part of what makes Frylands Wood such a special place.

The everyday adventure is possible thanks to our adult volunteers…


We are always looking for new volunteers to join our team.

Could you be one of them?
