Corporate Volunteering
Get hands on, support the environment and your local communities by volunteering with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
At Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust we pride ourselves on being a ‘doing’ organisation. So if you’re keen to get hands-on we’ve got a range of corporate volunteering opportunities that deliver real benefits to the unique landscape and habitats of the Yorkshire Dales.
It’s a great feeling to get out into the countryside, work as a team and make a practical contribution to the environment. Volunteering days also help us get to know you better and gives you the chance to see how our projects work on the ground.
