Do Good, Feel Good - Join us for the BIG Community DIG! 17.10.2025

What You'll Do:

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

On the 17th October, we will 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 like: 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. This will be sent to you.
