VOLUNTEER WITH US
Would you like to meet new people and work together to find ways to reduce the cost of living in a beautiful garden in South Edinburgh?
We can teach you new gardening and cooking skills and much more besides. Or maybe you can bring a skill that can help us and other volunteers too?
We have a regular adult drop-in volunteering sessions from 10am until 2pm on Fridays. For other options and sessions please take a look at our schedule of events.
Every Friday 12.30 to 1.30pm
Transition Edinburgh South (TES) and the Gracemount Mansion Development Trust (GMDT) share a close and collaborative relationship rooted in a shared vision: to bring life, opportunity, and community-led regeneration to Gracemount. Our work overlaps both practically and philosophically, with a strong belief that local people should shape the future of local places. Together, we are working to restore and reimagine Gracemount Mansion and its grounds, making them welcoming, inclusive spaces for learning, creativity, connection, and care.
Transition Edinburgh South (TES) works with local people and community organisations to regenerate greenspaces and community buildings.
We are part of the Transition Movement which is “a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world”.
Thanks to funding from the Investing in Communities Fund we have been able to appoint 5 new members of staff: Rob Davidson Project Manager, Richard Whiston Garden Manager, Kirsten Foggo Food and Wellbeing Worker, Rita Budavári Youth and Children’s Worker, and Jane Hartley Development Worker for the Gracemount Mansion Development Trust.
