Let's Waste Less volunteers

Let’s Waste Less Volunteers encourage people in their local community to reduce the amount of waste they throw away.

Anyone can be a Let’s Waste Less Volunteer. You do not have to be an expert in waste prevention as you will receive full training. You can specialise and concentrate on one area of waste reduction such as composting, food waste, repairing or fashion waste, or you can advise on all aspects of waste reduction.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers and can offer a wide variety of things for you do that requires as much time as you are happy to give; from informal chats over a cuppa at a coffee morning, through writing articles to attending bigger events.  If you are a Tik Tok or Insta star we would certainly love to hear from you!

The Let’s Waste Less programme is currently run by Garden Organic on behalf of the Council and they manage all aspects of recruitment, training and event planning.

Training is either done with you attending an event with another volunteer so you can see what sort of questions are asked or we organise more structured training if we have sufficient people interested in applying.

How do I apply?

Email worcestershirelwl@gardenorganic.org.uk and they will contact you to arrange an informal chat about what you would like to do.  

How to book the Let’s Waste Less volunteers to come to you

If you are having an event in your community or would like an assembly or sessions in your school, please contact Garden Organic via email worcestershirelwl@gardenorganic.org.uk. .

The volunteers are also available to pop along to a coffee morning and have an informal chat over a cuppa. We are also available to do a formal talk for groups such as U3a, WI or Probus.
