Organisation Details
Following a series of community engagement events, Holmewood’s local Councillors have transformed a vacant shop in the heart of the community into a vibrant café space. This initiative aims to provide a welcoming environment where residents can access advice and support services (from a wider range of service providers), foster connections, and participate in drop-in sessions and workshops designed to benefit the community. As part of the Bradford 2025 celebrations, the café will also host a variety of engaging activities to bring people together and celebrate Bradford being the UK City of Culture.

- Preparing surfaces
- Painting walls – 2x coats
- Painting doors – gloss
- Painting skirting boards – gloss
The above is a simplified process we will use on the day. As the building is large, we will be working through room by room to cover as much as possible.
Date
- Wednesday 29th January
- Thursday 30th January
- Friday 31st January
Number of Volunteers
10
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.
