Why volunteer?
Volunteering not only provides vital support for small non-profits such as ours, but it has a surprising number of benefits for you too! By volunteering with us, you can expect to:
Get fitter!
Getting active through planting, weeding and generally moving about, means you’re working out without even realising it.
Improve your mood
Being outside in green spaces, meeting new people and making connections puts a smile on your face and brightens up your day.
Build your confidence
Many Incredible Edible volunteers started out with absolutely no experience. By getting involved they have not only grown fruit, vegetables and herbs but they’ve grown new skills too!
Fight climate change
Community growing is a revolutionary act that puts food at the heart of where people need it. It doesn’t need to be shipped, flown or driven. It’s tastier, more nutritious and kinder for nature!
Brighten up your neighbourhood
Many of the sites that Incredible Edible takes on, are unused and unloved spaces that are transformed into useful and productive community assets. You can be part of it!

We are pleased to have achieved Volunteering Quality Mark Level 1. The Leeds Volunteering Quality Mark is recognition by Leeds City Council and Voluntary Action Leeds that our volunteers receive a high quality and positive volunteering experience.
Corporate Volunteering
After an increase in requests, we are pleased to introduce a corporate volunteering scheme.
As well as many of the benefits listed above, offering your staff the opportunity to spend half a day or a full day with us, is incredibly rewarding. Get in touch with us to design your day. You can expect:
Hands-on activities
We can match you with an Incredible Edible group close to your premises, to support them with their activities. This may be a one-off or a regular project activity such as a build, maintenance or restoration project.
Skills-building
We have delivered several workshops for staff teams on a range of topics and can run these either in your office or at one of our sites. It’s a great opportunity for staff to spend time away from their regular roles, whilst still undertaking something productive.
Refreshments
We’ll provide tea, coffee and biscuits and happily encourage visitors to try our fresh fruit, veg and herbs at source! Some of our project leads have even been known to bake a cake…
If this sounds of interest, please do get in touch. Our prices start from just £24.95 per person*
* Why do we charge?
As a small non-profit, we are a volunteer-led organisation and any money we make goes straight back into our operations. By charging a modest fee, we cover our costs and also provide a paid project worker to ensure you get the best possible experience.
