Volunteering is central to the way we do things at Oxford City farm. People come from all walks of life to share their skills and enthusiasm, learn and make connections with others.
“I volunteer at Oxford City Farm because it’s a lovely place, it’s sociable and I want to help in my community.”
These sessions will offer an opportunity for people of all ages to get involved with some hands-on jobs on the farm or simply to come and enjoy the space and meet and feed the animals and have a cup of tea.
Everyone is welcome, especially families (Please note adults will be responsible for their children's wellbeing and supervision at all times).
We ask all new volunteers to complete this form.
If you're coming to volunteer, please come at the beginning to get the list of jobs and introduction.
If you are planning to visit the farm with a group of 8 or more please get in touch with us in advance on info@oxfordcityfarm.org.uk
