Volunteer Up on the Downs

Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to do something positive in your community, meet like minded people, get outside, get fit and have a good time. Why wouldn't you want to get stuck in! Our partners have lots of different ways for you to get involved. Check out details on our website's Volunteering page!

Livestock and two brand new corrals

Highland Coos

Here at Up on the Downs we now have our own sheep and cows to help keep the fabulous flower rich grassland around Dover and Folkestone in tip-top condition. Funding has also been given to our partners so they could build two new corrals.  Corrals make it easier to move livestock from place to place. However, our new cows and sheep need people to help look after them. Find out more...


Help us out with heritage, and we'll give you a beverage!
