About The Conservati­on Volunteers

-

u The Conservati­on Volunteers were formed in 1959 as the Conservati­on

Corps to get ordinary people involved in practical conservati­on. u The first project took place in Box Hill, Surrey, and 42 volunteers were

involved – including a young David Bellamy. u Every day TCV works across the UK to bring people together to combat loneliness or enhance employment prospects. They help combat challenges such as poor health and a lack of high quality accessible green spaces, by giving people a sense of achievemen­t and belonging. u Anyone over 18 can join and you don’t have to be physically fit! The TCV can accommodat­e both physical and learning disabiliti­es and works to embrace every section of society in their mission. u For more info, go to WWW.T .O . K
