They provide essential support through a wide range of services, including employment advice, youth action groups, and “wellbeing cafes” for older residents.

Project Details
This well used centre is showing real signs of wear and tear. We are seeking teams of volunteers to support:
Interior
- Paint Corridors and Reception
- Paint Office
- Paint Activity Hall
Exterior
- Paint exterior walls
All the above spaces will follow the same process; Prepare surfaces > First coat (Acrylic Durable Matt) > Second Coat (Acrylic Durable Matt)
Dates and Volunteer Number
To ensure a high-quality finish for the community centre, we require volunteer teams across two consecutive days. These dates must be back-to-back to allow for consistent progress and a professional standard of painting. We are seeking 10–15 volunteers per day to complete the project effectively.
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. We will also share with you our completed Risk Assessment for your own records.
Preparation
Volunteers will be undertaking painting activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that you will not mind getting paint on. We do offer paint overalls, although these do not guarantee no damage to clothing. We also require sensible sturdy footwear, avoiding heels and open toe footwear. Where personal protective equipment is required, it will be provided.
