Volunteer with us Warley Woods Community Trust depends on its volunteers whether acting as a Trustee, helping with maintenance or at an event. Whether you have one hour to give or many – we hope you will find something at Warley Woods that you can get involved with and that you will find rewarding. Being A Trustee The Board of Trustees are members of the Trust who come from the community surrounding Warley Woods. They are volunteers and are voted in by members of Warley Woods Community Trust. They also act as Directors of the limited company. They meet once a month on the third Tuesday at 7pm. Trustees also give time on a subgroup and as we have a small staff Trustees are often key volunteers giving time to support events or other activities.
