Gardenering Volunteers for Seeability's Homes in Leatherhead. (CSVA)

Do you enjoy being outdoors, getting your hands dirty, and helping things grow?

Join SeeAbility as a Gardening Volunteer and support people with learning disabilities, autism, and sight loss to enjoy gardening, nature, and time outdoors.

Whether you’re green-fingered or simply enjoy a bit of fresh air and teamwork.

This is a fun and rewarding way to make a real difference.

• Supporting people to enjoy sensory gardening activities

• Sharing conversation, laughter, and time outdoors
