Description of role: Join us at Platt fields Park, were we will be volunteering to spruce and tidy up! Give something back to your neighbourhood and volunteer alongside your local community.
This year Big Volunteer Day is taking place across three Manchester parks: Platt Fields Park, Whitworth Park and Sackville Gardens. #PickYourPark and join us on the day at your chosen location.
We will be volunteering from 10am - 3pm at Platt Field Park. Sign yourself, your housemates, your course mates, and your society up for more information and to let us know you’re coming (mostly so that we know how many teabags and biscuits to buy!).
We’ll be joining forces with local residents, but we need as many volunteers as possible so that we can complete all the tasks we have planned! You can see what’s in store for you in this video: https://bit.ly/SVWvideo2020.
