M&S and Shekinah, a charity that provides opportunities for people in recovery, 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 Friday 9 September, we are calling on volunteers to help us sort and pack food items for people who are experiencing poverty and homelessness. The work of the project will also provide Shekinah with a new stock room, with more space for upcoming harvest festival donations which will help to support many vulnerable people in the Plymouth community.

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.
