How do i become a volunteer

Normally I'd suggest you start off by having a chat with your local reserve Visitor Experience/Volunteer co-ord team - they would help you get involved, but of course, the vast majority are stood down at present. There is an on-line search tool where you can search for volunteering opportunities www.rspb.org.uk/.../ which is certainly worth a look. In my experience, there are normally a lot more opportunities to get involved than those on that list however. For example, at my local Minsmere, there are regular work parties doing reserve management type stuff & they're not advertised on the website. What sort of role are you looking for?

Thank you for your reply.

I was just hoping I could do something to help from home with current circumstances upon us.

I've got a laptop etc so can do some admin work etc.

Have had a look on the link you sent me, all i can find is in Buckinghamshire which is too far away for me as it says would need to go to monthly meetings etc.

You may be out of luck in the short term, even admin roles do-able from home would likely need some initial on-site involvement to kick things off and we're back to a big chunk of the people you'd liaise with not being available at present. There's a central email address you can try (if you haven't found it already) volunteers@rspb.org.uk - they may be able to point you at someone local. I can point you at someone myself if you're in Suffolk, but that's about my limits of knowledge :-)

Thank you so much for all your help.

I will send an email and ask.

Hope you are keeping well
