Oh yeah, and sorry i forgot to mention that due to the nature of the work undertaken volunteers will come in to contact with young children and vulnerable adults and as such a CRB check is compulsary along with a DVLA check if you wish to drive an estate vehicle on public roads.

DVLA checks arent required for driving quad bikes and other off road or agricultural vehicles however.

Where is this place? And do you need a licence to ride the quads on the estate? Might be tempted providing its not too far away.

Work is generally undertaken on estate grounds in and around the forest of Bowland and Lancaster areas, sometimes extended to the estates farthest reaches of Settle and Yorkshire, and NO a license isn’t required to use a quad bike on estate grounds however as a volunteer you would be required to fill in a health and safety assessment before we could allow you to use them, which doesnt really take long, about five minutes usually.

There is a serious side to the work, however everybody likes a laugh.

Would do it mate but think getting there may be a bit of an issue (i dont drive so would struggle to get there). Sounds the the kind of work i would really enjoy. Shame its so far away.
 
Hey I'm interested and live in lancaster area, if thats handy then give me a PM. I'm only a student and I cant afford to pay for the CRB though and dont have any experience in any of those titles except litter picking at school lol.

If there is anything in particular that'd give e a good bit of experience thats respectable towards my degree then I'd definatly love to be of help.
 
Yay, I'm going to be a volunteer, i cant wait! Its a bit strange being excited about unpaid work though I must admit, but this sounds really interesting!

Thanks pal, and our annual income is a lot less than that as 90% of the money we make is put straight back into conservation projects.

Any more volunteers ?
 
Why does it matter if the estate has disposable income or not? Its a minimum of 4hrs a month, if people enjoy volunteering and the countryside then they wont mind not being paid, and its a good oppurtunity for people with no job prospects to get a bit of experience that will help them find a job.

You might not fancy helping because Estates tend to have plenty of wealth and it appears they're being a bit tight by not offering small wages, but they just want help maintaining the vast area of land they have acquired so that it stays nice for the people who enjoy using that land, which includes the public, not just the owners themselves.

If you dont like the job thats being described, just stop commenting on it so then other people have a chance to read the description and make their own minds up, instead of people just slating it just because theres a few spelling errors and its unpaid work! Some people LIKE unpaid work!

There is a simple reason why I won't offer to help out. Since this person has person has started posting any requests for information about his 'organisation' are very secretive. Hopefully it's some kind of sect that carts off over opinionated teenagers :D
