Volunteer working weekends at our inspirational sustainability centre.

1. Embercombe Working Weekends are open to all, whether you are
single, a couple, in a group or a family. You come and join us here
at Embercombe and stay in the yurts or in the Gallery, a large
shared space, or alternatively you can bring a tent. You will be
involved in activities that have personal meaning and benefits both
to you, our community and the charity. Everyone works along side
by side to share skills, knowledge and stories.
The weekend starts at around 6.30pm on the Friday and finishes at
around 5pm on the Sunday. On Saturday morning at 9am everyone
meets and introductions are made and the activities and tasks for
