Support our work

Donate

The Holly Lodge Centre exists thanks to the generous support of our donors and supporters, and the enthusiasm of our volunteers. You can help us give our visitors, both young and old, a unique educational experience.

We want our beneficiaries to have the best experience they can, leaving them enthusiastic about learning and thinking about subjects in a different way. It should also be an opportunity to have fun! We receive no Government funding so are dependent on supporters like you to help us maintain and improve this service.

You may want to make a one-time donation to the Centre or a regular donation, which can either be monthly, quarterly or annually.

Volunteer

Our volunteers are at the heart of our charity and are involved in every aspect of the work that we do. Volunteer roles range from helping to organise our fundraising events, looking after our garden or nature trail or helping us to deliver the education workshops. If you would be interested in volunteering, please do get in touch.
