Volunteer day

At TSS, we are proud to offer volunteer days as a benefit for all our employees. Our Projects Technician, Andy recently took advantage of this opportunity by volunteering at “Grow Wild York,” where he got knee deep in manure! If you are not familiar with this charity, please read the information below. Grow Wild York CIC We are a vibrant community hub located at Beetle Bank Open Farm in Murton. Beetle Bank has a long history of welcoming the community and charitable organizations onto its land. In 2022, Beetle Bank committed to pursuing its social and environmental work by co-founding Grow Wild York CIC. We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) managing 1.6 acres of land at Beetle Bank Farm. Our mission is to create a community hub based on the principles of permaculture and rewilding. Grow Wild aims to promote good health, wellbeing, and reduce inequalities by bringing people together. We use nature, great food, and meaningful work experiences to empower community and friendship, while also tackling loneliness and supporting young people into work. To achieve this, we are transforming 1.6 acres of grass paddock into a Community Food Forest and Wildflower Meadow. www.facebook.com/GrowWildYork
