Volunteering at The Lodge

As you may be aware we are renovating The Lodge, a beautiful historic building in the Ecology Centre grounds by the ponds in Carshalton. We are creating a community hub where all sorts of activities and projects can happen. Facilities will range from fun activity space in a classroom, workshop and creative spaces, useful office and meeting facilities to a beautiful peaceful secret garden.

You may remember that some time back we asked people about how they might get involved. Now that the renovation is underway, we're asking you again for your thoughts.

We would be very grateful if you could complete the short questionnaire below to let us know how you might be able to help?
