Volunteer with us

Sustainable Amersham is entirely powered by volunteers – come and join us! We are a very friendly group and are grateful for all support and time spared. 

If you’re over 16 and keen to do something for sustainability or nature there are many ways you could support us, for example:

  • present information at our stalls
  • work outdoors in nature
  • help out at children’s events
  • research local nature or campaigns
  • write social media posts
  • suggest new projects
 

You can choose to support an event project (such as Waste Matters, the Repair Café, and Wild Amersham), or take on a more regular team role.  We’re open to anybody with any level of experience. You will meet lots of lovely people, learn a lot and help protect our town. 

Whatever you’re looking for there’s something for everyone. 

If you’re interested send us an email and we’ll be in touch! You can also sign-up for our newsletter to receive monthly email updates on what we are doing, including any volunteer opportunities and events you can join. 

If you work for a business sign up for 1% for the Planet and your volunteering time will count towards your organisation’s contribution.
