Volunteering Programme

Ritchie Faulkner (2013)

Ritchie started volunteering the gully in 2013, after a friend brought him to Welchman Hall Gully for a visit. Ritchie lives here part time, so when he returns to the island he volunteers once or twice a week by working on beautifying the Gully, planting trees, prorogating seedling and other maintenance jobs. He decided to volunteer because he really likes Barbados and thought it would be a good idea to give back.

McGill students (2008)

In September 2008, four students from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, as part of a course for three months, volunteered at Welchman Hall Gully. They built the nursery for the Native Plant Project.

Emma Brooks (2007)

The first volunteer at Welchman Hall Gully was a Emma Brooks, a mother of 3 whose husband was working in Barbados for one year. She worked one day a week for just under a year. Her help, support and friendship was invaluable to the start of getting Welchman Hall Gully back in order.
