Live in community members are worker volunteers who often have an area of responsibilty at Hifield, For instance Lynn is our Kitchen manager and her role is to ensure we have a sparkling clean kitchen, a balanced diet and we are also competently trained in safely cooking for our guests and each other. Lynn works hard to ensure we try to buy local produce where possible  and we minimise food wastage and cater for any diet needs that are requested.

Richard is our longest community volunteer member having lived here for over 12 years now and he looks after all the land and animals we have and helps to educate us and the guests on living lightly on the land and caring for the animals that live here.

Most of our Live in volunteers live in Douglas house, this is a large 10 bedroom house with a comfortable fully equipped Kitchen and a Spacious Lounge which is for Douglas House residents only to relax and enjoy their free time, it has a lovely log fire which is a favourite pastime of many a winters evening to relax beside.

Each resident in Douglas House has there own room which is furnished with the essentials and of course all bedding/towels are provided.There is a large washing machine and drying room and a clothes line outside for when the weather is suitable.

All live in volunteers have the monday off and we have a regular trip to a local town for general shopping needs and we often have days out either to the beach, cinema or other local events.
