Green volunteering

Looking for a fun, engaging, and positive way to bring your team together whilst supporting a community project in Manchester?

Join one of our partner community projects on your next Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or team-building day.

Your team can get stuck into practical tasks to support our community projects, which range from woodland management, building wildlife ponds and tree planting, or have a go at mushroom cultivation and joinery at our make and mend centre, the Boiler House.

“The whole team had the most fantastic afternoon and I've been inundated with feedback saying it was the best team day we’ve ever had!”

Kate Thorpe, Corporate Volunteer from The Behaviours Agency

About Green volunteering

We have over 15 years’ experience co-ordinating and motivating volunteers to help build and maintain urban green spaces.

  • Activities include supporting community gardens, building homes for nature, tree planting (Nov-Mar) and much more!  
  • We will tailor an itinerary to fit your team’s needs, and a Sow the City staff member will lead the event to help you achieve your group’s goals and ensure you get the most out of the day.
  • We can work with small or larger groups and provide all the necessary materials, tools, and equipment.
  • Sow the City can provide refreshments on the day to help keep your energy levels high, and suggest catering suppliers.
