Do you have a passion for your community and a few hours to spare regularly? Join us in bringing creativity, connection, and wellbeing to life across Thurrock.
We’re looking for local champions to help shape and support T100 – our inspiring year-round programme of guided walks, creative activities, and a joyful annual festival that celebrates the stories, heritage and voices of Thurrock.
From schools to libraries, community centres to coastal paths, our programme reaches right into the heart of local life. Leading up to the annual festival, we run workshops that spark imagination and bring people together – from writing, drawing, cooking and painting, to dancing, researching, and performing.
Whether you want to guide walks, support young people, help behind the scenes, or simply share your enthusiasm, your contribution will help make a real difference.
We’re always looking for passionate, community-minded people to join our growing family. Whether you’ve got a few hours to spare or want to get stuck into something bigger, there’s a role for you.

T100 Festival and Kinetika started a Community Natural Dye Garden in Purfleet in 2023, taking a disused, overgrown area of wasteland in the Park into a blossoming garden.
The garden develops month on month, seeing new plants sprouting, which can be used as natural dyes by the artist team at Kinetika. The growth of the garden is due to our team of dedicated gardening volunteers.
Want to help us grow more?
Join us every third Wednesday of the month at the Community Natural Dye Garden at High House Production Park, Purfleet.
Connect with fellow gardeners, enjoy various tasks for all abilities, refreshments will be provided. Please email George via the button below to register your interested in joining us.
T100 is made possible by the commitment and enthusiasm of our dedicated volunteers and friends. Their passion for the local area and the communities that bring them to life is what inspires others to participate in the festival year on year.
A huge thank you to our volunteers and T100 family.
