Opportunities

Get Involved with Norwood JunkAction

Norwood JunKAction (NJA) is a community-led environmental and creative action programme based in South Norwood. We create regular, welcoming opportunities for people to care for their local area, connect with others, and take part in collective action through litter-picking, creative workshops, and public engagement.

There are many ways to get involved, whether you want to volunteer your time, share skills or resources, support fundraising, or explore longer-term partnerships.

Volunteer Opportunities

We are currently looking for volunteers to support:

  • Weekly litter-picking sessions in South Norwood and Croydon

  • Creative workshops using reclaimed and recycled materials

  • Community events and local projects

No prior experience is required. What matters is reliability, openness, and care for shared spaces. Volunteering with NJA is about showing up regularly, working alongside others, and contributing to something grounded, visible, and collective.

Skills, Training & Development

We welcome individuals and organisations who can support learning and growth within NJA, including:

  • Training or skill-sharing • Training or skill-sharing for volunteers (facilitation, leadership, creative skills, communications, etc.)

  • Mentoring and development opportunities particularly for young people

  • Knowledge exchange that strengthens our programmes and community practice

We prioritise practical, accessible learning rooted in real responsibility rather than one-off workshops.

A Note on Values

Norwood JunKAction is not a short-term clean-up project or a one-off intervention. Our work sits at the intersection of environmental care, social connection, and creative practice.

  • Consistency over scale

  • Relationships over outputs

  • Local knowledge over imposed solutions

Local Partnerships & Resource Sharing

We are keen to build relationships with:

  • Local businesses interested in providing materials, tools, services, or in-kind support

  • Organisations and charities interested in collaborative projects and shared resources

  • Schools, youth services, and cultural organisations interested in creative and environmental programmes

These partnerships help sustain our weekly programme and expand what we can offer locally.
