Here is some info about volunteering at EarthSpirit: First off, we are not a community although there are 8 people living on site + David the owner and myself. The house keeping, maintenance, office team and kitchen helpers come to work during the day. We have a vegetable garden, a small orchard and a few hens (chickens). And a lot of residential groups coming and going. We are hosting the groups; providing food and accommodation. We are not participating in the events, we only work at making their stay smooth and welcoming. The work of a volunteer often consists of clearing the kitchen after the group’s meals. This includes doing dishes, cleaning the dinning room, the kitchen, but also work in the garden such as weeding, planting, and watering. Sometimes there is also sanding, painting, helping with turn arounds in between groups, making beds, cleaning bathrooms. We usually ask the volunteers to take their meals (vegetarian) from the main group kitchen. This consists of Breakfast,...

Unfortunately at the moment there's several issues with the plumbing so please do not apply if you need a twice daily hot shower! We like to have several helpers so friends are welcome to apply, alternatively we are happy to take single travellers - but please be aware you may need to share a sleeping area with other helpers (who we will ensure are the same sex and similar age to you.) The accommodation is extremely basic, the house is in disarray and I currently resemble a headless chicken for much of the day! Only apply if you are comfortable with untidiness and disorder. However, despite this you will have fun, be well fed and happy. The gardens and surrounding countryside are...

Hello! I am looking for someone to help me clear out my garden shed and attic. Also a bit of weeding. And I have to clean my extension floor too which is a hard job that I only do a few times a year. I am looking for a guy - sorry for the specificity but it is me, my two daughters aged 10 and 15, and my 18 yo son, so it is to balance out the energy for my son! (Even the dog is a girl) Your room is in the attic. It's a lovely room (I used to airbnb it) and you will have a nice sofa-bed. Oh, but it won't suit someone tall, as the walls are sloping! I am a writer so I am working in the house quite a lot. We are an easy-going, arty, musical, household. If that sounds as if it would suit you - come stay! I'm looking for four hours help a day with weekends off. We all have dinner together most nights, otherwise help yourself to food. Fairly often I go away for the weekend/night and the father of my children comes in to stay. We live in South East London zone 2 in a quiet leafy cons...

My name is Christine and I am a 70 year old female living in the picturesque village of South Nutfield. I am looking for some assistance in the summer of 2024 with short term placements (1 or 2 weeks) to help me in the garden and do some of the more heavy lifting work and digging that I can no longer do on my own also a bit of outside maintenance staining the window woodwork and gates. Single females or couples only. Profiles must have photographs and replies initially through the Helpx web site. I have removed my phone numbers but will supply when contact made and visit arranged. Strictly non smokers Helping hours are flexible (10 hours a week) that could be split over a few days to give you time to explore the surrounding area if you require accommodation only or 20 hours a week with board included. You will have a spacious double room with own bathroom, access to wifi broadband and cook facilities as well as other communal areas. South Nutfield is a small village in Surrey,...

We are a family with three boys (15, 13 and 11) based in beautiful Somerset. We live in a house which is currently undergoing renovation. We have chickens, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We hope to have someone who will enjoy spending time with three fun boys and can help with jobs around the house which may vary from gardening to painting to basic housework to fencing to walking the dogs! There is a bus from Wincanton (5 mins away) to London and lots of places to explore nearby for example Stourhead and Stonehenge (40 mins away by car).
