Want to Volunteer Flexibly?

You can always help us by adopting and tending a small area on the Howe – such as a patch of young tree saplings.
No tools or experience required – just wear gloves and old clothes.
Volunteers of all ages and abilities are very welcome.

Meet Us

We’re neighbours with The Wheatley Windmill Preservation Society and we also share a lot of values, interests – and volunteers! Come along and meet some of the Howe Trust team at a Windmill Open Day – which run from May to October.
We also often attend village-wide events and give a talks to groups and local societies.

Volunteer Work on The Howe

Throughout the year we run twice monthly afternoon or morning volunteer sessions, both midweek and at weekends.
If you’d like to help do get in touch and we’ll add you to our volunteer communications which go out via both WhatsApp and email.

Howe Volunteers' Socials

Twice a year we organise informal volunteer socials in the form of a BBQ or bring a dish event. It’s a great way to get to know your fellow volunteers and their families.
