We have over 18 acres of land at Minstead Trust and we need help from our business partners in supporting us to maintain the garden and out-building areas at Minstead Lodge, Furzey Gardens and at our day opportunities centre in Portsmouth. Your support can help us to undertake work that we may never be able to complete and make large cost savings in both labour and material expenses.
We can accommodate teams of up to 20 people and activities can range from general gardening tasks, helping out at our plant nurseries, working with those we support in our day opportunities workshops, volunteering to work with our animals and occasionally outside painting tasks.
Contact usIf you are looking for an opportunity for your corporate team to give something back to the local community we have plenty of projects you could be involved with. Whether you have special skills, or just a willingness to do a good job we can find the right project for you.
To support the work involved in setting up the day, supporting you when you come and as a contribution towards the purchase of tools and equipment that might be used on the day, we ask if it is possible for your teams to fundraise in advance for the volunteering day- our suggested starting amount is £350.
We can offer free parking at our venues and competitively priced lunches for teams volunteering at Minstead Lodge from as little as £4 per person.
If you’d like to find out how your firm can support us, please contact fundraising@minsteadtrust.org.uk or 02380 812297
We had a fantastic day working at the Trust. It was great to know that what we did was so worthwhile.
We enjoyed interacting with all the people that Minstead Trust supports. The day was so well organised and we definitely want to come back.
We had an amazing day volunteering at Minstead Trust. It was so rewarding as we knew what we were doing was directly helping the charity.
