Corporate volunteering

Little Green Change's Give and Take event team, December 2023

Make a difference by volunteering with Little Green Change

We are able to organise environmentally-themed volunteer sessions for corporate companies at school sites in Devon and Dorset. We also offer volunteer opportunities at a number of our community events including at our annual Children's Christmas Give and Take event.

Staff experience

Our staff lead has years of event management experience, plus a Higher National Diploma in Landscape Design and Construction from Capel Manor College, so regardless of your staff's experience or knowledge, volunteers can get stuck in to make a positive impact.

How long are your sessions?

We are able to offer sessions during the week and on Saturdays, ranging from 2 hours to a whole day.

By volunteering with Little Green Change, you'll be:

  • Directly supporting an award-winning environmental education organisation, and the state-funded schools and communities we serve.
  • Directly supporting biodiversity by helping to transform areas, or create new areas, which feed important pollinators including bees, and provide an essential habitat for wildlife (for gardening opportunities).
  • Helping local families to gain free, preloved toys, books, DVDS and clothing (our Give and Take events).
  • Providing excellent corporate social responsibility team building activities.
  • Promoting your business to our followers and supporters.
  • Recent event

    A recent session was with Westcotts Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers (pictured), who transformed an overgrown area at All Saints CE Primary School in East Devon into a a child-friendly sensory garden perfect for vital pollinating insects, including bees and butterflies, in just one morning.

    They removed a huge quantity of weeds and self-seeded tree saplings which were unsuitable for the area, replacing them with edible and medicinal plants including thyme, fennel, rosemary and chamomile.

    They also planted Spring flowering bulbs to increase essential nectar sources for important pollinators like early bumblebees. Great work, Westcotts!

    “Little Green Change is a fantastic local organisation with a very important mission, and we at Westcotts are delighted that we could get involved, and give back to our local community.”

    “We are extremely grateful for the support from Little Green Change and Westcotts Chartered Accountants. Their hard work has transformed our Courtyard and our Forest School/Biodiversity area. Our pupils will be delighted - even more so when the flowers bloom in Spring and Summer.”

    Support us

    To help us cover our associated staff time and material costs, we ask corporate companies for a minimum donation of £50 per hour for each volunteer session we organise (e.g. £150 for a 3 hour session). Travel costs for locations beyond a 10 mile radius of Little Green Change's South-West office in Lyme Regis will be charged at 50p per mile in addition to this.

    We rely on regular funding and donations to continue and expand the valuable environmental education and action services we offer free to state-funded schools and communities (we can't continue without this), so the financial help you're able to give is hugely appreciated!
