Making money from Corporate Volunteer Days

Some city farms and community gardens earn £6-30k a year in unrestricted income hosting paying volunteers from corporate businesses. At this workshop we will share insights on how this is done. 

The focus will be on how to run a fun, safe, income-generating day.

This event is for staff, volunteers and trustees of London community gardens and city farms who want to develop their offer and engage local and national businesses. It is suitable for all levels of experience. 

We will also touch on how you can nurture ongoing relationships with businesses and how we can all share resources to increase our capacity.
