Working as a volunteer at York Cemetery

The Weekday Scented Walk Group's sessions are flexible but they try and put in a morning's work every three weeks or so, usually on a Monday.

If you would prefer to volunteer on weekdays, there may be other opportunities available depending on your skills and experience.

Volunteer Weekend Wardens

Weekend Wardens volunteer on Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and 4pm. Weekend Wardens generally do a two hour shift once per month, although some do more than one shift. A rota is organised so that as many shifts as possible are covered.
