We're on the lookout for passionate volunteers to join us at one of our events. As a volunteer on the day you’ll be part of an amazing atmosphere and will support Mencap to make change through raising funds or engaging with your local community.
Our events are vital to Mencap, bringing people together to share experiences, launch programmes and celebrate successes! They also often help to raise funds for our services, such as the Mencap Direct helpline, advocacy services, and national campaigns such as Treat me Well.
This event is a litter pick in the local Victoria Park. You can support people with a learning disability, have a chat and contribute to a cleaner community. We will provide drinks and snacks afterwards as a small gesture of thanks for sharing your time.
