As we get ever closer to celebrating the re-opening of British Naturism: Sunfolk, we are seeking additional volunteers to help us prepare for and during the 2024 season.
Sunfolk Wardens
This is an amazing opportunity to volunteer at British Naturism: Sunfolk as a Warden. You will be responsible for coordinating, supporting and supervising people’s attendance at our Sunfolk site; in meeting their information, safety and welfare needs; and assisting with the delivery of an enjoyable and safe experience for all our guests and visitors. You will also undertake regular checks and manage the site’s facilities; as well as meeting, greeting and checking-in guests and visitors to the site.
You will need to be reliable, well organised, have good hospitality and customer care skills and great interpersonal and verbal communication skills, along with an awareness of health and safety risks and a proactive attitude to mitigating them.
Training as required and a ‘Warden’s Handbook’ will be provided with full support from existing wardens and the rest of the British Naturism: Sunfolk team.

Work Party Volunteers
This is a great opportunity to contribute to the next stage of the re-development of British Naturism: Sunfolk and undertake the work needed to ready the site for the next season (May to early October 2024).
You will need to be physically fit to undertake a variety of groundwork tasks, including preparing and seeding new lawns, clearing leaves, bulb planting, grass and hedge cutting, managing trees, shrubs and weed growth, clearing drainage ditches, painting and similar works. We expect there will also be some moving and setting up tasks ahead of the site re-opening.
Experience of undertaking similar activities (at home, clubs or professionally) and a willingness to 'get stuck in' with others to get the job done is important. Experience of using garden power tools or mechanical diggers, would be an advantage but is by no means essential! You will not be required to use any equipment you are unfamiliar with or are uncomfortable using.
We would welcome help from members who would like to spend one, two or several days as a member of our work parties, from 09:00 to 16:00. Work party dates are shown below. Overnight stays can be accommodated on the Caravan/Motorhome bays or by crashing on a supplied mattress in a glamping pod (they are not fitted out yet). Unfortunately, due to the extremely wet weather recently we cannot yet support tent camping.
8-9 March 2024 | 29 March to 14 April 2024 | 20-21 April 2024 | 27 April to 2 May 2024
Find further information and/or register your interest in joining the work party
If you would like an informal conversation about either, please contact me colin.ratcliff@bn.org.uk
You can keep up to date with progress on the site and development via the BN Website Forum and the Gallery.
