They would be involved in all aspects of the CSA, which incorporate the following; • Seed sowing, ground preparation, planting, pest management, harvesting. • Maintenance of structures, fencing, construction of polytunnel etc • Packing & hosting the hub where produce is collected • Assisting in educational activities, such as school visits

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

ESC volunteers will be staying in accommodation at the Gower Heritage Centre in Parkmill. They will be based in an environment close to the coast & a 30 minute bus ride from the centre of town in Swansea. Please do note that public transport in rural areas of Wales is not the best. They will receive their allowance for food and pocket money into their UK bank account once it is set up. There is limited wifi on the place. It is not very strong and also the phone reception is not 100% given in some of the areas.
