Our Crowdfunder campaign is now LIVE. We're raising £40,000 to help communities discover, monitor and care for the changing marine wildlife on their local coastline. Click here to find out more.
Our volunteer onboarding process begins with reading our volunteer handbook and then completing our volunteer onboarding form.
A member of our staff will then get in touch with more details and to invite you to your first event.

We are passionate about connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to the incredible wildlife found around our coastline.
Our monthly Big Rock Pool Challenge events are run entirely by volunteers. Around the UK, currently, we have nine thriving, friendly, rock pool-wildlife-loving hub teams. As we continue to grow and expand, we are excited to welcome even more volunteers to join us!

"I think TRPP is doing a great job of educating and involving the local community about nature and the environment. And is really supportive of the volunteers, despite feeling intimidated at first by my lack of knowledge, I've consistently felt appreciated and supported. Even when I've made mistakes, I've been gently educated and encouraged. It's a great community and a fantastic way of bringing diverse people together to share enthusiasm and knowledge."
Lisa (Castle Beach Hub)
"Volunteering with The Rock Pool Project has opened up my world to many opportunities and helped me grow socially as a person. It is an amazing way to learn about the intertidal environment and gain new skills whilst being involved in nature."
Ruben (Menai Bridge Hub)
