University of Manchester students may be interested in this project:
‘STUDENT COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PROJECT
AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP CREATE A POSITIVE IMAGE OF STUDENTS IN MANCHESTER SAT 24TH AND SUN 25TH OF APRIL
In just a few months you will be leaving Halls and moving into private accommodation. This means leaving one community and becoming part of a new one.
The University is offering the opportunity for you to help create links with your new communities and project a positive image of Manchester’s student population by volunteering for various jobs that will benefit and enrich the lives of yourselves and those living around you.
This opportunity would be a great addition to your CV as well as a taster for the Manchester Leadership Project (http://www.mlp.manchester.ac.uk/about/ for more details) which can lead to additional credits towards your degree. It can also help push your hall forward in the carbon control competition league by getting a group of volunteers from your halls to help out at one of the designated carbon control events.
There are a number of jobs that you can volunteer for and all are located in areas around south Manchester (Withington, Didsbury, Ladybarn etc). Activities include:
- Tidying parks
- Planting flowers/trees etc
- Painting rooms in a hostel for the homeless
- Weeding and general gardening in local parks
