Make a Difference Day – 2nd July 2026

We were delighted to welcome fantastic volunteers from a range of local businesses to our Umberslade Community Services site for our latest 'Make a Difference' (MAD) Day. The teams did an incredible job helping to enhance the site through gardening, painting, and general maintenance for our clients, students, and staff.

Following a guided tour of the site, volunteers got stuck in with weeding, painting outdoor furniture, and refreshing the decking. Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and willingness to help made a real difference.

The day had a wonderful atmosphere and provided a great opportunity for businesses to network, collaborate, and build new relationships whilst supporting community services and the charity as a whole.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported this MAD Day.
