Millan Centre

Confirmed – Emerald Publishing – Friday 9th May

Organisation Details

The Millan Centre is a community hub exclusively dedicated to empowering women and girls in Bradford’s Manningham and Heaton areas. They provide a safe and accessible environment for educational, social, and health-related activities. With a focus on equal opportunities and diversity, the centre offers a varied program that stimulates personal growth and fosters active citizenship. Courses and groups cater to women over 19 years old, while girls under 18 can participate with parental consent. Through grants and partnerships, the Millan Centre remains an independent resource, offering sewing classes, ESOL, life skills, digital skills, and more.

Project Details

The Millan Centre is in desperate need of redecorating after years of neglect. It would also benefit from a garden clean up:

Paint Small office
Paint Hallways
Clear Garden/Growing area
Repaint timber structures
Build bench
Build small planters
Paint building exterior

Number of volunteers

We are looking for between 10 to 15 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 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.
