Volunteering with NE1

14 August 2025

On the 13th August, 14 members of the team volunteered their time to take part in another volunteering activity in Newcastle city centre with colleagues from the team at NE1

The ask from Newcastle City Council was to sand and re-paint the main gate and railings at the entrance to Exhibition Park.

In the hottest day of the year when the temperatures peaked at 28 degrees, the team worked hard to remove the old flaking paint first before re-painting the railings, which hadn’t been treated for almost 15 years.
