Volunteering with the Volunteering Team and Middlesbrough Environment City, we will help to transform allotments into thriving community spaces.

Meet at the Student Life Building at 08:45. The taxi will then arrive at 9:00am and take us to Middlesbrough Environment City, Sandy Flatts Lane (The old Nature World site). It will take about 15 minutes to get there. Following a safety briefing and putting on PPE, we will take part in activities such as: clearing overgrown areas, preparing beds for winter vegetables, weeding, reseeding pots, laying chippings.....digging!

We will help to transform the area to make this a thriving community space to help with sustainability and the environment. Refreshments will be provided.

The taxi will then pick us up at 12:30 and we will return to campus, making it back for 1:00pm. You will need to dress appropriately for this task, good footwear, layers, warm clothing.

There will be a short form to complete before the day, which will be sent to you.
