M&S and Rainbow Garden 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 to revitalise an essential community green space that supports the local community as a free, public green-space where people can hone horticultural skills and knowledge and take home free, organic fruit and vegetables.

We aim to achieve this, among other jobs, by pruning, weeding, watering and mulching the vegetable plots in the Rainbow Garden. We will also renovate and create new signs for the Rainbow Garden, which we believe will help us to reach more members of the public and get them involved in growing their own organic fruit and vegetables. Any help on the day would be greatly appreciated.

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.
