About Kingcombe

The Kingcombe Centre has three charitable aims:

• To raise awareness of the connection between humans and their natural environment through residential and day courses.
• To provide a safe space for children and young people, including those with learning difficulties, to explore and gain knowledge about the outdoor world.
• To maintain the charity’s 4.5 acre (1.8ha) site for the benefit of future generations and enable it to form part of the Living Landscape, in particular, its Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Meadow.

Kingcombe hosts EuCAN

The European Conservation Action Network, funded by the European Union provides the opportunity for individuals to take part in conservation volunteering projects in several European countries.

In association with Nigel Spring, the Centre’s former Director, there are opportunities for adults (over 18), not engaged in full-time education, to undertake conservation activities in the Czech Republic, France, Hungary or Poland.

If you are fit and prepared to undertake nine days work in a fortnight then you’re the person we’re looking for.

The placements are free, but we request a refundable deposit of £100 on booking as an expression of commitment.

All accommodation (in shared rooms), meals and insurance (travel, health & personal) are EU funded. Visit the EuCAN photo album on flickr.
