We now have enough help organised until the end of September, thanks. This is an independent hostel in the Glens of Antrim, Northern Ireland, near Glenariff Forest Park, 8km from Cushendall, 18km from Ballymena. We often host "barnminders" who look after the place, keeping it clean and tidy in exchange for accommodation and food. The owner is a professional storyteller and we hold music and storytelling sessions at the barn. Barnminders must be fluent in English and like animals as we have one large German Shepherd Dog and one cat. Owner speaks German, French and a little Spanish. We are in an isolated location so people must be comfortable with staying on their own on occasions.

See picture of the barn and the owner below.

Help with planting out the vegetable gardeners anyone with experience of gardening eagerly needed.
We always NEED PEOPLE WITH ENERGY AND DETERMINATION. We appreciate help with our Eco tourism farm work. FAMILIES are WELCOME.
RIGHT NOW WE NEED HELP WITH preparing vegetables for sowing and firewood.

We are an honest, straight forward hard working farm family. We believe in the philosophy of help exchange. It is simple the more you give to us in energy and commitment then the more we give back to you. We are big time volunteers within our own community. We provide comfortable, clean accommodation and private bathroom, for 2-3 persons and a big Irish welcome. Music, fun and laughter are a plenty, especially for those who work as hard as we do.

The usual small farm things are done here, chickens, pigs, lambs and vegetable growing. We need help in the house too, cooking, cleaning, laundry, in short just mucking in with the whole farm family.

There is always great variety ... more inside

Please read my entire posting and if your still interested you are welcome to come.

Currently i am looking for 7 friendly volunteers that is outgoing and would be hanging out with and be great with my guests to work in the two hostels. Please only apply no more than 1 month before you plan on arriving

For someone funny, smart, outgoing, good with guests and thrives in the hostel atmosphere there might be a full time job. But not guaranteed. Only when needed

I am only looking for people staying at least one month.

How it works is i provide you with free dormitory accommodation and £50 a week for food(as i don't cook for volunteers, its to much likes and dislikes)
In exchange i need you to work at least 3 shifts a week. Shifts are either 12 hour day or night shift or a 9 hour cleaning shifts. On occasion it might be split shifts. The hours are long but not hard. Plus i always try where possible to cram the 3 shifts close together so that you 4 days off is enough to relax... more inside

My name is Christine, and I am an Artist with over 20 years of experience in Pottery and Teaching.

Due to disablement with a car accident, and I am looking for help doing some Household chores, work in the Garden and with doing dome some shopping (so an international driving licence would be advantageous).

Its in a rural area, and about 3 miles outside Enniskillen (Fermanagh).

Because I am a single person and on my own,
this would be ideal not only for a couple, or a single person, but for a more mature, trustworthy experienced helpx member.

I really do need the Garden done. It requires a lot of work for which I would be really grateful for. We need to clear away a lot of rubbish, strim, and then maybe then prepare the Garden for organic gardening.

The work would be 4 to 5 hours a day. In exchange for the work, you will have your own room in the house, hot water/shower, breakfast, lunch and cooked evening meal and good Irish hospitality and friendship.
