Community Caretakers
Community Caretaker Scheme
Volunteer as a Community Caretaker, borrow equipment and help to make your local community become a better place.
What is a Community Caretaker?
A Community Caretaker is a volunteer who gives up their spare time to help the community.
Community Caretakers can help with anything which helps the local community, including:
- litter picking
- painting
- planting
- sweeping
- repairs
- clearing snow
Community Caretakers have access to community stores. A community store is a local unit holding tools, materials, equipment and protective clothing.
Once registered, Community Caretakers will receive a welcome pack containing a project guide and a map of the community stores.
