What you will be doing

Join Us for a Volunteering Day in Castlefield on 25/9/24!

We’re excited to invite you to a special volunteering day in Castlefield, just a stone’s throw from Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International. On 25th September 2024, we’ll be coming together to restore and enhance the public spaces in this historic and vibrant part of Manchester.

The day will be focused around the Castlefield Bowl area and activities will include restoration of seated areas and benches, trimming back shrubbery from key walkways, weeding, and litter picking. Participants can select the activities that suit them best and can switch throughout the day to keep things engaging.

All equipment will be provided on the day and there will be full safety briefings and supervision facilitated by Manchester City Council.

You can sign up for a half day or a full day of volunteering with us:

  • Morning Slot: [10:00-13:00]
  • Afternoon Slot: [14:00-17:00]
  • Full Day: [10:00-17:00 with 1hr lunch]

What we are looking for

You don't need any specific skills or experience to take part - just an enthusiasm for getting stuck in!

What difference this will make

Castlefield is a significant conservation area with rich heritage, from Roman ruins to the first railway city link. With your help, we aim to preserve and enhance its unique character, making it an even better place for residents, visitors, and the local community.

What to bring

All equipment will be provided. This role takes place mostly outdoors so please dress for the weather. You may want to wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. You may want to bring snacks and a water bottle.

Accessibility

Please get in touch with us if you'd like to discuss any access requirements. The focus of the day is on physical activities outdoors in the Castlefield area - but we have range of tasks to complete so can work to adapt these to your needs. 

Additional Details

After a rewarding day of volunteering, we’ll head back to Aviva Studios, where our catering partners, Super Serve, will be extending a happy hour with special food and drink offers. It’s a great opportunity to relax, enjoy some refreshments, and network with other partners of Factory International.
