M&S and Making for Charity are calling on local people to roll up their sleeves and Spark Something Good in a week of volunteering that will positively impact 24 projects at the heart of the community in Exeter and Plymouth. 

On Thursday 8 and Friday 9 September, we are calling on volunteers to help us create bags for hospital patients to carry their syringe drivers and drainage bottles following surgery. The bags will be donated to local oncology departments and hospices. Machine sewing skills would be hugely appreciated in any of our two-hour slots.

If you would like to sign-up for participation in our project or to find out more, visit: www.neighbourly.com/mandsvolunteer or call 0117 915 1279.

Exeter and Plymouth have been selected as two of the first cities in the South West to host M&S Spark Something Good – an initiative that will take place across 24 cities in the UK and Ireland over the course of 24 months and will see 24 projects benefit in each location.
