Organisation Details

University of Manchester Volunteering & Awards Team

Sub theme: Environment
Description of role: Come and help St Chad’s Church in Ladybarn prepare its beautiful wildlife garden for spring/summer! It’s a great chance to get involved with the local community, meet new people, and enjoy some time outdoors.

What will you be doing? šŸ

For several years, we’ve partnered with St Chad’s, where groups of student volunteers have helped create a wildlife garden, community orchard, and food plots for local residents to enjoy.

This time, we’ll be helping to:

- Clearing a thorny shrub, honeysuckle and rose bushes.
- Re-planting new rose bushes.
- Restoration of fencing and pathways in the orchard and in the Wildlife and Fruit Garden.

When and where? šŸ

The Volunteer Day will be from 11am to 4pm on Thursday 2nd April. We will meet outside of St. Chads Church at 11am. The address is 92 Mauldeth Road, M20 4NH. To get here, you can get the curry mile buses.

What do I need to bring? šŸ

Refreshments will be provided. Please wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy. We recommend wearing waterproof layers just in case and sturdy footwear such as walking boots/wellingtons.

*If you’d like to be provided with wellies and a waterproof, please let us know in advance.*
