Corporate volunteering days in London

We create meaningful, hands-on corporate volunteering days in London for teams of 5–15 people. From planting and habitat creation to transforming outdoor spaces, we plan and deliver practical volunteering experiences that bring teams together while creating a lasting benefit for local communities, people and wildlife.

🌱 We partner.

We work with London-based companies big and small to create meaningful corporate volunteering days for their teams. From planting and gardening to habitat creation, projects are tailored to suit each team, the season, and outdoor space.

🌳 We guide.

We take care of the planning, tools, materials and on-the-day guidance, so your team can simply turn up and get stuck in. Whether it’s an employee volunteering day, green team activity or corporate away day, we can make it work.

🌿 We report.

The impact continues after the day is over. We share what your team achieved and how it benefits the space, local community and wildlife. A simple way to see — and share — the environmental and social impact of your corporate volunteering.
