Something for Everyone!

Our volunteers are the glue that holds Silverburn Park together, without the generosity of the local community we would not be where we are today.

Over 2022 we have had over 50 on site volunteers contributing over 1500 hours of work to the project! We have even more volunteers who give their time at home in order to fundraise, promote and assist the regeneration of Silverburn Park.

We have all kinds of volunteering activities and always try to find something suited to each person's unique skills when we can! Even if you just want to try something new, meet new people, get outside for fresh air and have a sense of purpose we can help.

If you would like to get involved in any way please complete the sign up form on this page and we will get in touch!
