Questions about the trust
Money
Where does the money go?
Eighty-two pence in the pound on the work. The rest is insurance, tools and the coordinator.
Are the accounts public?
Yes, filed annually and sent to anybody who asks.
Volunteering
Do I need experience to volunteer?
No. Somebody will show you, and there are always jobs that need no skill at all.
Can children come?
Yes, with an adult, on the clearing days rather than the planting ones.
