TSL Kirklees Volunteering is the official Volunteer Centre for Kirklees
This means that we’re here to help you get started on your volunteering journey and support you through the process.
We also make sure that any groups or charities that advertise for volunteers on our website will look after their volunteers properly. Some of them will have a stamp of approval called the Kirklees Volunteering Quality Award (KVQA), which means that they’ve done even more to make sure that their volunteers are valued and have a good experience.

The Steel Valley Project is a countryside management organisation based in Stocksbridge -
Volunteers who support the project learn a wide range of practical conservation skills as well as being offered the chance to help with environmental education and public greenspace projects. The input of volunteers to a small project such as the Steel Valley Project is invaluable and proves crucial in the delivery of our project work.

The input of volunteers to a small project such as the Steel Valley Project is invaluable and proves crucial in the delivery of our project work.
The current volunteer teams carry out a range of various practical countryside management tasks for the benefit of wildlife and the local general public within the greenspaces and rural areas around the Stocksbridge & North Sheffield region. This can include Public Right of Way access maintenance and installation (strimming, installing benches, way-markers, steps, gates, fencing, dry stone walling etc.), woodland management (tree planting, coppicing, layering, tree felling and branch work), other habitat type management (hedge-laying, meadow management, heathland management), school workshops, raising environmental awareness and more.
If this interests you, please submit your details below so we can arrange a taster day for you. Our environmental Project Officer will be able to arrange that with you. On your first day you can come along, join our regular volunteers and see if you like it. There’s no obligation whatever you decide. We meet at our offices in Stocksbridge at 8.30am and return to the office which is based in Stocksbridge at the end of the day usually around 3-4pm. We are based in Stocksbridge Town Hall (ARC) Manchester Road S36 2RD
