Breckenhill

If you like a relatively quiet life, in the countryside, living with a couple, their pets and maybe one or two other volunteers, this place is for you. We have a business here, doing weddings and outdoor activities, and it is not always quiet! This means there is much variety, but also plenty of work to do to prepare and to look after our beautiful grounds. You have a room in the house and will be asked to help with general household jobs like washing up, and meal preparation, like part of the family!

The volunteers will become part of our small group of staff. You need to be flexible, and also quite strong as the work is quite physical. Otherwise, you are part of the family, you will eat in the house with us, and share in our daily lives. We will take you to a bus or train for days off, so you can travel around the country. We do prefer you to take at least one of the days off as a day away - it is good for all of us, and there is plenty to do nearby! We have staff who are here most weeks, and many others who come for our events, so you will meet lots of other people, and see all kinds of different events and activities.
