Volunteering

We are always keen to welcome new volunteers to help with all sorts of village activities, and it's a great way to get more involved with the community and meet people.  If you can spare a couple of hours every so often then it would be wonderful to hear from you. Contact us at info@uppersaxondale.com and tell us what you’re interested in helping with.

PARISH COUNCIL

All of our parish councillors are volunteers. Currently all 7 councillor positions are filled but if that changes we will advertise any vacancies. But of course you can still support the work of the parish council by volunteering for other activities.

Village Hall

The hall is used for regular classes and village social events. But we need more volunteers to help look after the hall so we can re-open bookings for one-off party bookings. Volunteering involves checking the hall after each booking to ensure it’s been left clean and safe.

Coffee Mornings

We hold coffee mornings most Friday’s in the Village Hall.  It’s a lovely place to meet with friends and neighbours, and enjoy scrumptious cake and coffee and tea. Any money raised is donated to charity. We need volunteers every few weeks to help serve refreshments. If you can help, contact Veronica Ball  07872 300770.       

caring for the land

We have beautiful mature land surrounding our village, from the well established woodland areas, orchard and soft fruit garden that need taking care of, and the parkland and other pockets of land across the village which have recently been transferred to the Parish Council. We need volunteers to help with all aspects of caring for the land, such as tidy ups in Spring and Winter, helping clear overgrown areas throughout the year, even just a bit of weeding or keeping the public area around your home looking good.
These are promoted via the village Facebook page and notices posted around the village and on the noticeboards. But you don’t have to wait for a call for volunteers, just get in touch now and we can find a job just right for you!

litter picking

A few village residents regularly go litter picking as part of their daily walk. If you’d like to join them, let us know.

TENNIS

The Tennis Club is always looking for volunteers to help in any capacity, from club admin to organising tennis socials. If you’re interested contact uppersaxondaletennisclub@gmail.com
