Date TBC – 5TH, 9TH OR 11TH JUNE PROPOSED

Organisation Details

Meanwood Men Shed is a community space located at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm, designed for men to connect, socialize, and engage in various activities such as woodworking, gardening, and barbecuing.

Project Details

Due to the farm’s terrain, access to the shed involves navigating steep paths with handrails, which may pose challenges for individuals with mobility issues. In an attempt to improve accessibility, the Shed, are looking to install a pathway:

• Trench out pathway
• Line and lay sub-base
• Lay paving stones

Dates

Dates in June available are: 5th, 9th or 11th June 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 outdoor construction-based activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that you will not mind getting dirty. Where personal protective equipment is required, it will be provided. This does not include work safety boots. If you have access to boots, that would be beneficial. As 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.
