      Volunteering with us

      Volunteering’s not just about giving back – it goes both ways. It improves your wellbeing, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends (and memories).

      Whether you want to be a leader and help every week, or help bring your skills to one of the many jobs that happen in background that keep our group running, there is always a role we need your help with!

      We are also lucky enough to own a hostel on the slopes of Great Whernside. It was given to us in 1947 and we have maintained and developed it into a fantastic resource available for anyone to hire. Completely off grid and accessible only via foot or 4×4, it is a fantastic remote base for activities in the dales.

      Try new things. Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of your big adventure.
