LCC’s team of 55 Environment Action Volunteers already plays an important role in helping to deliver the Council’s environmental priorities, but they are looking to recruit more volunteers from communities across the county.
Environment Action Volunteers help to:
Reduce waste, increase recycling, and promote home composting
Protect nature and enhance biodiversity
Encourage sustainable travel choices, including walking, wheeling, cycling, and public transport
Volunteers can support a range of activities, including:
Running information stalls at local events
Delivering talks, workshops, and presentations
Creating content for newsletters and social media
Supporting environmental campaigns
Assisting parish councils with biodiversity projects and invasive species management
Supporting the delivery of e-bike training courses
No previous experience is required, as full training and ongoing support are provided.
The next volunteer training session will take place on Saturday 26th September 2026 (9:00am – 4:00pm) at County Hall, Glenfield. Applications close on 16th September 2026.
