Volunteer - Northumberland Wildlife Trust

Established as a registered charity in 1971, the Trust has strong local influence and authority as the only organisation uniquely concerned with wildlife in Northumberland, Newcastle and North Tyneside. We work regionally with our sister Trusts in Durham and Tees Valley, and we have national influence as a member of the Wildlife Trusts’ partnership, a nation-wide network dedicated to the achievement of a UK richer in wildlife. (www.wildlifetrusts.org).

As a partnership we have over half a million members and care for over 2,000 nature reserves. As an individual Trust, we have over 12,000 members and care for over 60 nature reserves across the county, both rural and urban. The Trust employs around 30 skilled staff, most of whom are based at our offices in St Nicholas Park, Newcastle, and many hundreds of volunteers get involved in all aspects of our work.

By giving anything from a couple of days a year to several days a week, volunteers help with a variety of tasks ranging from conservation work on reserves and educational activities with schoolchildren and local communities, to providing marketing, fundraising and administration support to help keep the Trust running smoothly.

People of all ages and backgrounds volunteer for Northumberland Wildlife Trust. They do it for a variety of reasons, from learning new skills and meeting new people, to putting something back into their local community or environment. With such a broad range of activities, the Trust can cater for a wide variety of volunteer skills and interests.
