This exciting 5 year project (2007-2012) offers volunteering opportunities and support for groups managing churchyards. The project also organises bus tours, activities and workshops for the general public.
Are you thinking of volunteering?
The Churchyard Task Team is a group of volunteers who go out every Tuesday and work in some of the beautiful churchyards across Herefordshire and South Shropshire.
We offer:
- Training – certificated or non certificated
- Experience in a wide range of conservation tasks

- Tools and protective clothing
Learn new skills and discover new places in beautiful surroundings with good company, tea and cake!
