Talking Tree CIC is an amazing volunteer based organisation whose aim is to help get Spelthorne to Net Zero. We are currently looking to recruit additional directors to join the founding directors in taking Talking Tree forward. We believe having additional directors will bring a wider range of perspectives and skills and  welcome applications from a wide range of backgrounds.

At the moment we are particularly looking for people with skills or experience in Finance, Fundraising and Communication to volunteer for a minimum of 8 hours per month.
