Equal opportunities:

Teamwork promotes mutual interests, harmony, respect, cooperation, and understanding between volunteers from diverse backgrounds.

Please be advised that although we welcome people with mobility issues the site is built into a cliff and has many steps and some uneven surfaces so there is no access for wheelchairs and could be very difficult for others who can walk but need mobility aids as there are no lifts.

If you have any allergies, please let us know on application, so we can advise if you may be at risk.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or for an application form.
