The Bibby Line Group contacted Salford CVS Volunteer Centre in July 2023, enquiring about volunteering for some of their employees based at Salford Quays who wanted to ‘Donate a Day’ as part of their ‘Giving Something Back’ programme.
Salford CVS Volunteer Centre linked them with Aspire in Salford, who needed help restoring their sensory gardens at their site in Swinton.
Dressed for the very mixed November weather, the volunteers all got stuck in.
The employees had a great time and although it was physically demanding, they worked at their own pace and could see the difference they had made.
Heather spoke to us all about her hopes to develop the sensory garden further, building a forest school for young adults with autism and making the whole area accessible to all.
Speaking to the volunteers afterwards, they fed back that they had really enjoyed their morning and were happy to come back again in the future.
