Common Ground is entirely run by volunteers. The members who process your food order, look after the Edible Bray flowerbeds, clean and maintain the Common Ground building, and help out in a hundred other different ways, are all volunteers who give their time freely because they believe in the positive aims of Common Ground: to create a community of people focussed on friendly co-operation, sustainable living, and skills sharing.
In order to maintain Common Ground as a flourishing and positive aspect of the Bray community we ask every member to give at least an hour of their time (more if you can manage it!) each month. Giving this time will help keep Common Ground running, and will also give you the benefit of a richer and deeper involvement in our community!
We have a wide variety of one-off and regular volunteering opportunities – please click on the links below to sign up!
