HELP out AROUND THE FARM!

Spitalfields City Farm was originally set up by volunteers in 1978 and we still rely on volunteers today to help maintain the farm and gardens, look after the animals and assist in delivering projects. In short, without volunteers there would be no farm. You may be eligible to help out in a number of areas, so we've outlined below how you can easily sign-up!

Education volunteer

Volunteers help us deliver our education programme, both at the farm and in local schools. If you are interested in getting involved please sign up below.
