As a volunteer you can make a real difference to The Sharpham Trust. And you’ll learn or burnish skills at the same time.
You’ll be part of a friendly, sociable family of people who
- help in our historic and tranquil gardens and Estate
- contribute to our rewilding project Wild for People
- assist in our Archive
- support our events
We run weekly volunteer days that give you the chance to meet new people, learn a new skill, connect with nature and get active in beautiful and inspiring surroundings alongside the River Dart in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Occasionally we recruit volunteers for special projects, such as the Green Oak Bench project, and our National Lottery Heritage Fund-supported project Discovering Sharpham.

The Estate provides important habitats for wildlife which the Trust protects through organic farming, conservation work, educational activities and public engagement.
