Volunteers help to protect and enhance the countryside in many ways...

Based in Broomhill, Sheffield, Friends of the Peak District (FPD) is a flexible organisation where volunteers gain practical experience as well as meeting lots of like-minded people who care about the Peak District countryside.

Volunteering for FPD gives you an opportunity to do something to protect or improve your local countryside. There are no age or qualification requirements. Our current volunteers are aged 20 to 70+; they are town and country-dwellers and are alike only in their love of the countryside. Volunteers are highly valued and work alongside the full-time team in a variety of capacities - you could be investigating planning applications and development plans; taking part in conservation work with the Friends' Conservation Team; organising the Friends' Photographic Competition and other special events; attending local shows and events to spread the message about our work; giving talks about the work of the Friends and recruiting new members as well as providing vital administrative support in the office.

Remember...

As a Friends of the Peak District volunteer, you will get clear instructions about your role, regular advice and support and expenses to reimburse you for travel, lunch and anything else you need to spend to work for us. For more information download our volunteer leaflet or telephone 0114 266 5822.

Local Planning Volunteers

Local Planning Volunteers work when they choose. Some visit our office regularly to use our facilities and discuss planning applications with the Planning Officer and other volunteers. Others rarely visit and keep in touch by email or phone. We need lots of Local Planning Volunteers and if you can drive and have a clean driving license then that is an added bonus.
