Aviva work party volunteering with NWT

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Norfolk Wildlife Trust! 

This page is for teams of Aviva employees who are interested in volunteering with us. We offer the opportunity to undertake a number of varied outdoor practical management tasks on our network of wildlife reserves. Work will be outdoors, practical and will benefit nature and the environment. 
 

The work tasks we offer are suitable for all volunteers, new or experienced and include fen cutting and raking, scrub clearance, pond creation, coppicing and removal of invasive non-native species. 


Our volunteer days are led by one of our trained and experienced members of staff who are first aid trained and experienced in leading volunteers. We provide all work tools and related safety equipment. 
 

Further information 

  • Suitable breaks will be taken during the day including a lunch break which will normally be taken on site. 

  • We are happy to work with groups of up to 15 volunteers and larger groups by special arrangement (this may vary depending on the task) 

  • We are happy to discuss smaller teams (less than 8) and may suggest combining with another Aviva group on the same day 

  • We are able to start hosting volunteer work parties from July through to February, with most opportunities available in autumn and winter. 

  • Your Aviva Sustainability Team wish to emphasise the importance of recording your volunteering leave and therefore could you log your hours on Workday.  Aviva can then measure performance against target, and most importantly your impact on our work.
