Project Details

We are looking to transform the outdoor space at the community centre. This will involve:

  • Rebuilding seating and plater area
  • Renovations front of building – replacing weed block and filling with woodchip
  • Paint outside of building
  • Repainting parking lines

Date & Number of volunteers

This project will take place:

  • Wednesday 26th March 2025

We are looking to recruit up to 20 volunteers.

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 construction gardening and painting activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing. Volunteers should pay particular attention to footwear wearing tough shoes or boots. This is a relatively low risk challenge and where personal protective equipment is required it will be provided. This will include latex free gloves to protect rings etc when painting. Please be aware if you are painting, you will get this on your clothing and will not wash out. Again we recommend wearing clothing you don’t mind spoiling. If volunteers wish to bring their own gloves they are welcome to do so. This challenge is taking place outdoors and as such the volunteers should be prepared for inclement weather or sunshine.

Materials, tools and equipment

Tools and materials will be provided by Participate Projects.
