Get Involved
We welcome people to come and join Cardiff Friends of the Earth and take on different roles and volunteer opportunities.
We appreciate any time that people can spare and value everyone's skills and knowledge.
​
There's no commitment, but it is your chance to meet new people, put your environmental passion to good use and gain new experiences.
​
We need people with all kinds of skills and from all walks of life to keep our campaigning fresh and our group vibrant. You don't need to be an experienced campaigner to help out.
​
We meet from 19:00 - 20:00 on the second Tuesday of the month at the Quakers Meeting House: 43 Charles St, Cardiff CF10 2GB.
You can get in touch with us by emailing info@foecardiff.co.uk.
As a group member, you will have access to support and training opportunities.
