At the heart of the Salisbury community are the volunteers involved in the daily life of the Centre, who make the Centre the diverse, welcoming and thriving place it is!

As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to contribute to a vibrant community initiative that aims to make a difference to the environment and to build community. You will be part of a wider team of volunteers from different backgrounds.

There are many teams and roles in which you can get involved:

- Seed Library: contributing to seed-saving and sharing in our community through sharing circles, events, gardening, and maintaining our seed library.
- Community Dinner Co-host: Setting up, facilitating the blessing of the meal, make sure any food allergens are mentioned before serving, clearing up and tidying the space.
- Community Seasonal Celebrations: Co-creating and facilitating seasonal community celebrations.
- Garden: Taking part in regular group gardening sessions and workshops to maintain food garden and nature patches.
- Meditation: Facilitating the Centre’s free, twice daily silent meditation sessions.
- Promotion: Distributing and designing flyers and posters.
- Library: Receiving and organising book donations, and maintaining the Centre’s library as an inspiring resource for the community.
- DIY & Woodwork: Supporting the maintenance of the building, ranging from painting walls, woodworking, to mending broken things, depending on skills and interest.
- Photographers & film-makers
- Curators and Researchers: examining and researching our historical achieves and compiling and assisting in creating installations.
