There are also ample opportunities to create new planting projects and coordinate additional partnerships as the space establishes over the next year or so.

Once we have received your form, we will invite you in for an informal chat and tour of the space and ask that you complete a Confidential Agreement form. We are dedicated to safer and inclusive recruitment in all areas of our work at St John’s Church, including the Green Space.
What skills do I need?
