Date & Volunteer Number

We have identified three days for this project to be delivered. In this instance we are looking for teams on all sizes to support us on any of the below dates:
– Tuesday 26th August 2025
– Wednesday 27th August 2025
– Thursday 28th August 2025

On-site support

On the day Participate will be providing a member of staff to support the volunteers. A trained first aider and first aid kit will be available during the challenge. A “Tools Talk” and health and safety briefing will be given by Participate at the beginning of the day.

Preparation

Volunteers will be undertaking painting activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that you will not mind getting paint on. We do offer paint overalls, although these do not guarantee no damage to clothing. We also require sensible sturdy footwear, avoiding heels and open toe footwear. Where personal protective equipment is required, it will be provided.

Materials, tools and equipment

Tools and materials will be provided by Participate Projects.
