M&S and Age UK are calling on local people to roll up their sleeves and Spark Something Good in a week of volunteering that will positively impact 24 projects at the heart of the community in Exeter and Plymouth.

On Monday 5 September, we are calling on volunteers to help us in decorating and refurbishing three rooms at Plymouth’s Ageing Centre on the Barbican.  We need your help to provide upgraded facilities for elderly and lonely people in Plymouth which will enable them to make new friends, socialise and take part in enriching activities. The refurbished Ageing Centre will also present older people with opportunities to learn essential information and communication technology skills that will directly assist them in their daily lives.

If you would like to sign-up for participation in our project or to find out more, visit: www.neighbourly.com/mandsvolunteer or call 0117 915 1279.

Exeter and Plymouth have been selected as two of the first cities in the South West to host M&S Spark Something Good – an initiative that will take place across 24 cities in the UK and Ireland over the course of 24 months and will see 24 projects benefit in each location.
