Opportunity Details

We run team corporate volunteering days for up to 50 people in community green spaces needing urgent support. We have sites all over Greater London.

The best way to get a feel of what we offer is to watch our testimonial video from MUJI's day with us earlier this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ineTjSXQoNQ

In short we manage the entire day from registration, the gardening itself, to the wrap up:

- Organising - We take the headache out of registering your colleagues with our forms
-Timings - Days last from 9.30 am to 4 pm (max), incl. 1-hour lunch break.
-Health & Safety - we give a H&S briefing, provide all gardening tools and gloves on the day. Our team of Gardening Team Leaders are also First Aid trained.
-A fun, educational, and productive gardening day. We love how much we always get done and we make sure we have a good time doing it.
-Expect "hands-on"! Practical activities we might be doing together including pruning, digging, planting flowers, shrubs and trees, creating bug hotels and wildlife habitats, improving soils, turning compost, litter picking and sowing seeds.
-Photos- we will provide you with team and individual shots to remember our day together.
-'Golden Gloves' Awards ceremony at the end of your session gives us a chance to say thank you.
-Marketing & CSR wrap up - we provide photos, infographics, and concise reports for your CSR / ESG reporting, annual wrap up, and social media. We occasionally get a 'Feel Good' press story in - and we'd love to involve you in these also.

Fee for the day:

We charge £990 for up to 12 people joining us for a full day (9.30am - 4.30am). This covers our organising time, tools, gardener's fees, plants, etc.

If you would like to stay for a party with the residents we ask you to bring the cakes and drinks for yourself on the day.

All profits are channelled back into looking after the sites and communities we support.

We are sending volunteers AS A PRIORITY to Sheltered Housing blocks across London. Read below what an example of such a day might look like:

Lucy Brown House Sheltered Housing.
Address: 27 Park St, London SE1 9EG.
10 minutes’ walk from Blackfriars or London Bridge. Right behind Borough market.

Suggested Timings (though we can be flexible)

9.15am arrival for 9.30am start.
9.30am-12.30 Gardening (with tea break)

SRLA students are currently in the midst of long marathon training miles and could use a little motivation… that’s where YOU come in!

We are asking supporters to write “Motivational Valentines” to SRLA students, encouraging them to keep moving forward towards the marathon finish line in March as well as the graduation stage in May.

1. Write 1 (or more!) card or letter to a Students Run LA student encouraging them to keep on running! Please do not address these to a certain individual, they will be passed out randomly to students. Here is an example of what your Motivational Valentine might say:

Hi SRLA Runner,

Great job sticking to your training and staying committed during this tough season. You are awesome! Good luck at the marathon. Remember, if you put your mind to it you can do anything!

Keep it Up,
Joe


2. Address your card or letter to the SRLA office:

Students Run LA
5252 Crebs Ave
Tarzana, CA 91356

Mail your letter so it reaches the SRLA Office before February 23rd, 2024***

3. Share your process on social media with the hashtag #SRLALOVE and remember to tag @StudentsRunLA

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Darlene at darlene@srla.org

Students Run LA can't wait to receive & distribute your Motivational Valentines!

MLK Day of Service project. This year we will paint a Light Box in honor of Mr. Donald Richardson, Legendary Band Director of the Andrew J. Bell Marching Crusaders He was a culture bearer in Treme neighborhood. Donald Richardson created a band program at Andrew J. Bell Junior High School that would help fuel New Orleans’ brass band revival in the late 1900s. Prior to the 1960s.black schools weren’t allowed to march in Carnival parades.

As desegregation allowed, Richardson built the Marching Crusaders into a powerhouse. .They practiced before school at 7:15 a.m., after school, and on Sunday afternoons. Mr. Richardson sometimes directed the band from the second floor of the fire escape overlooking the Bell courtyard. He trained many of the popular musicians in New Orleans. You can participate in our MLK Day of Service by volunteering to draw or paint (skilled volunteers), sharing our newsletter, or making a donation to support this project.
