Volunteering for the Barn Owl Trust
✨ Special Call To Action – admin volunteers ✨
As of October 2025, we are looking for a couple of enthusiastic long-term volunteers to help with our admin workload, in particular our beloved spreadsheets. No advanced Excel skills or formula knowledge is needed; just a keen interest in organising, a bit of consistency and a love for being part of friendly admin team whist supporting our conservation efforts. We are flexible on the time commitments; what matters most to us is reliability and a genuine interest in helping. Please email Anne-Marie at info@barnowltrust.org.uk for more details or to express your interest.
Have you got time to spare?
Volunteering can be very worthwhile and need not take up a lot of your time.
We only have a small workforce and therefore rely on volunteers to help our staff during their normal working day (Monday – Friday 9 to 5). Tasks include; aviary cleaning, ground maintenance, vehicle cleaning, data input, general admin tasks and much, much more.
If you are able to offer assistance on a regular basis, even if it is only half a day a week or one day a month, please contact the office for an application form.
Regular volunteers are a wonderful asset, but if you can’t make a regular commitment (during office hours), maybe you could help out occasionally.
If you are close enough you could help us with mailings approximately twice a year or join us once a month for practical work on the Lennon Legacy Project.
Wherever you live you could run a fundraising event like a coffee morning, a cheese and wine party, a jumble sale, or you could find homes for our leaflet dispensers to spread the word about our work – contact the office for more information.
“We have been volunteering for the Barn Owl Trust on a regular basis for more than eight years and gain a great sense of achievement from being able to help the Trust continue its work.”
“I’ve been helping out since 2011 and no two days have been the same. There is always lots to do and it’s great to know my help really makes a difference”
