Date & Volunteer Number
Thursday 1st May 2025
5-volunteers
On-site support
On the day Participate will be providing a member of staff to support the volunteers. We will also be supported by trained Valley Project staff. 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, painting and gardening activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that they do not mind being potentially stained by paint. 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 safety gloves. 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.
