Could Your Company Spend a Day at MAIN?
Could Your Company Spend a Day at MAIN?
🌱 Calling all parents, carers, friends and supporters of MAIN… we have a little favour to ask!
What if your workplace gave you a volunteering day… and you brought your whole team to MAIN? 💙
We’re putting a challenge out there to all our wonderful MAIN families, friends and supporters.
If you work for a company that offers volunteering days, community days or team volunteering, why not ask your boss or HR team:
“Could we spend a day volunteering at MAIN?”
You never know… they might just say yes!
So, what would we actually do?
Well, that’s the fun part.
You don’t need to be a gardener, painter, DIY expert or professional organiser. You just need to turn up with enthusiasm, sensible shoes and a willingness to get stuck in! 😂
There are always jobs at MAIN that need a few extra pairs of hands.
🌱 Fancy getting your hands dirty?
Come and help us in our allotment or community garden. There are plants to plant, things to tidy and plenty of opportunities to discover whether you actually have green fingers!
🎨 More of a creative type?
We always have painting, decorating and creative jobs that could use some extra help.
🧹 Love a good sort-out?
You could help us clean, organise, declutter and generally make things look fabulous.
📦 Got a talent for finding treasure?
We have donations, fundraising bits and tombola prizes that need sorting and organising. You might even discover something you didn’t know existed!
🔨 A bit handy?
There are always those little jobs that we never quite get around to. A team of willing volunteers can make a huge difference.
🌿 Outdoor person?
Help us get our outdoor spaces looking their best and ready for everyone who uses them.
🎉 Love events?
You could help us prepare for fundraising events, set things up, decorate, organise and generally help make the magic happen.
💙 Or just come and see where you’re needed most.
Sometimes the most valuable thing you can give a small charity isn’t money.
It’s time.
One day. A whole team. A BIG difference.
For a small charity like MAIN, having a team of people come in for a day can make an enormous difference.
Jobs that might take us weeks to get through can suddenly be done in a day.
A tired garden can be transformed.
A room can get a fresh coat of paint.
A mountain of donations can become beautifully organised.
And, perhaps most importantly, we get to meet some lovely new people who become part of the MAIN family for the day. 💙
And let’s be honest… we’ll probably put you to work! 😂
But we promise there’ll be plenty of laughs along the way.
Could you be our next MAIN volunteer team?
So, if you’re reading this and thinking:
“I reckon my workplace would do this…”
Don’t keep it to yourself!
👉 Send this blog to your boss.
👉 Pop it into your work WhatsApp group.
👉 Tag your HR team.
👉 Mention it at your next team meeting.
And ask them:
“Could we volunteer a day at MAIN this year?”
We’d absolutely LOVE to hear from you.
Whether you’re a team of 3, 10, 20 or more, we’d love to talk to you about how you could spend a day helping MAIN.
You bring the people. We’ll find the jobs! 😄
