Volunteer Week, May

7 May 2016 to 14 May 2016 23:59
Chisholme House, Roberton, Hawick, Scottish Borders TD9 7PH

Springtime in the Borders

 

If you missed out on our April Fortnight, join us for a week in May. Lot's of spring sunshine, and more preparing, sowing and planting to be done: more salads and peas and French and runner beans, leeks and cabbages and kings and plenty happening in the tunnels. By now the garden will be pretty full with everything beginning to grow, so it's an exciting time to spend a week with it all coming to life. 

Volunteers are a vital part of life at Chisholme. The School could not have been built, nor maintained over the last forty years, without the support of many dedicated volunteers.

Experience the joy of living and working in a place dedicated to supporting the discovery of our own potential. In addition to working with your hands you are invited to take part in conversation and study, meditation and other supportive activities, so you can give space to yourself, and your own questions.
