Dog Walking for Manchester Dog Home
Task Type: Animal Support
Charity: Manchester Dog Home
Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home is a charity for re-homing stray and abandoned dogs. They are always looking for volunteers who can help with dog walking. This involves taking the dogs for walks on the lead, in the public green space near their site. Playing with the dogs off-lead in our secure areas. This role starts from from 10 am.
They will ask you about your availability. Anyone can apply for casual dog walking, but regular attendance is better for the charity and more fulfilling for the volunteer, as you can build skills and become part of a team. From time to time there may be specific requirements for certain hours, days and levels of commitment.
Volunteer with City of Trees!
Task Type: Community Gardening
Charity: City of Trees
We want everyone to work together to make Greater Manchester a much greener, more resilient and pleasant environment.
If you are interested in getting involved with us, why not come along to one of our events where you can help out with tree planting, woodland management, orchard creation and more.
Magic Maker for Make a Smile
Task Type: Club/Group Support
Charity: Make a Smile
Make a Smile seeks to take children's minds away from hardship they may face and, through the medium of play and fun, allow them to enjoy themselves as children.
Magic Makers attend events out of character, often act as supporting staff, play games, chat to and interact with children, and assist characters at events. This can be a jumping pad to being a character volunteer!
