Organisation Details

Roleystone Horse and Pony Sanctuary is an equine sanctuary based in the Shipley area of Bradford, West Yorkshire. They rely solely on generous donations from the public. Without this wonderful support they would not be able to continue with their work. They accommodate more than 50 horses across 12 acres of land. More information about Roleystones can be found below: https://roleystonehorsesanctuary.co.uk/

Project Details

The sanctuary is run entirely by local volunteers who are passionate about horses. Supporting these horses is very time consuming, so tasks around the site or often hard to complete. Your team will support with completing the below:

  • Repainting all fences and timber structures
  • Repairing fencing
  • Painting office
  • General site tidy up

Date

This project can only be completed on a Monday.

Number of Volunteers

Up to 25 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.
