Evening voluntary work at Tameside Hospital

Tameside Hospital has a Mobility Scooter service, which takes patients who are unable to walk to their outpatient appointments on the hospital site. At present, the service works during 9am to 4pm from Monday to Friday but we would like to extend it to include evenings in order that patients who attend evening appointments can also access the service.

Are you interested in working as a scooter volunteer between the hours of 4pm to 7pm? If so, please contact the Voluntary Services Manager, Mrs Karen Eato on 0161 331 5335 to discuss or request an application form to do voluntary work at the hospital. Training is provided.

St James Community Garden – Gardening Event and volunteers needed!

St James Community Garden is a community project on Romney Street in Ashton-under-Lyne. We’ve just started to grow our own vegetables and are looking forward to planting up the garden this spring with plants donated by Tameside in Bloom.

We’re holding a joint ‘Activity Morning’ with SureStart on Monday 6 April from 10am – 11.30am.

There will be planting, a raffle and a sunflower competition. Do come along and join us, bringing gardening tools if you have them.

We are also looking for volunteers to come and help us with gardening. We would also be interested in hearing from anyone who has carpentry skills who could help with building some wooden structures.
For more details, please contact Jo Farnworth on 0161 330 4925.
