Volunteer Hub
☺️ Volunteer Day: Take a Break from Exam Stress to Get Crafty for Children! ☺️
Organisation Details
University of Manchester Volunteering & Awards Team
Sub theme: Children
Description of role: On Wednesday 28th January 13:30 - 15:30, we will be heading to Simon 4.38 armed with coloured pens and craft materials to create cards and letters for children supported by Post Pals, a charity dedicated to making seriously ill kids and their siblings aged 3-17 smile.
This will be a creative volunteering opportunity but requires minimal skills, so as long as you have an afternoon to spend colouring & drawing then you'll be able to get involved! You don't need to stay for the whole session, but please note we can only add whole numbers of hours to Volunteer Hub accounts.
Please check out their website at https://www.postpals.co.uk/ for more details - this is a great charity whose work helps with the emotional support of many unwell children and their siblings each year.
Where to meet:
- At 13:30 at Simon Building 4.38
What to bring:
- No need to bring anything, except perhaps a water bottle and some snacks
- However, you are welcome to bring your own craft stuff if there's anything you'd like to make or use! Post Pals permit gifts so if you wanted to post any other creations to the children then feel free.
After the session:
- We will take your cards and letters and send them to the children by post
- We will add your volunteering hours to Volunteer Hub so you can count them towards the Make a Difference part of the Stellify Award
Sign up below or email frances.muscatelli@manchester.ac.uk with any queries. We hope to see you there!
