Growing Support are looking for friendly volunteers with interests in gardening and supporting people, to help older people and people with dementia take part in gardening activities.

In return, Growing Support provides:
- Initial training and on-going support
- The chance to learn new skills and have fun
- An opportunity to support some of the most vulnerable members of your community
- Reimburse travel expenses
