Global Volunteer Day 2024

Global Volunteer Day 2024

For Global Impact Day on 15th May, volunteers from Fanatics Inc. renovated the garden at one of our mental health services in Longsight, Greater Manchester.

Fanatics is a global digital sports platform. In 2022, Fanatics introduced Global Volunteer Day, an annual day where employees volunteer to make a lasting impact in their local community. They build houses, plant gardens, help those who are food insecure and much more. They visited four Creative Support services, and we spoke with those in Longsight working on a garden which needed some love.

“I’m very grateful for the Fanatics volunteers coming to tidy up our gardens, so the people we support will have a nicer outdoor area to sit in,” said Mary, Project Manager at our Longsight service. Volunteers worked hard removing weeds, picking up rubbish and planting new seeds so residents can enjoy time outside this summer.
