If you volunteer, are part of a community group, or would like to get involved this way, we are offering a year of free guided trips to different places around the Brecks.
If you want to learn more about your local area and how it can inform and inspire your work in the community, join this social introduction to our Brecks Ambassador training programme to find out more.
Who is the training programme for?
Anyone who already volunteers in the Norfolk and Suffolk Brecks, or who works or takes part in a community group. Or, anyone who wants to in 2026 and is looking to find opportunities and connect with other volunteers.
How much time will I need to commit?
As much, or as little, as you like! You can attend the events that work for you throughout the year. Of course, we do recommend completing the whole course but, even if you take part in every event the time commitment is still fairly small: just 3-4 half-days and 3 evenings across the whole year.
