Make a Difference Together
Bring your team together, strengthen connections, and create a lasting impact in Middlesbrough.
Nine Yards partners with businesses that want to give back to their community while supporting environmental sustainability. Our corporate volunteering programme offers hands-on, rewarding experiences that help improve local green spaces, support community wellbeing, and inspire positive environmental action.
Whether you’re looking for a team-building day, a meaningful CSR activity, or an opportunity to engage employees in sustainability, we’ll work with you to create an experience that meets your organisation’s goals.
What to Expect
- Flexible volunteering opportunities tailored to your team
- Hands-on environmental and community projects
- Activities suitable for groups of up to 20 people
- Half-day or full-day volunteering experiences
- Opportunities to strengthen teamwork, morale, and community connections
Projects may include habitat restoration, community growing spaces, woodland management, wildflower meadow conservation, and other practical activities that make a visible difference.
Looking Beyond the Day
For organisations wanting to deepen their understanding of sustainability, we also offer optional sessions exploring environmental challenges, climate action, and the role businesses can play in creating positive change. These sessions can help build ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) awareness and connect volunteering activity to wider organisational goals.
Nine Yards offers a wide range of opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. You could:
- Help maintain and grow our community gardens and green spaces
- Lend a hand at events and healthy eating workshops that inspire local action
- Support cycling and active travel projects across Teesside
- Get involved in energy efficiency and sustainability education
- Share your skills and passion for social media, marketing or video content creation
It’s very much up to you! Whether you can give a few hours a month or a day each week, we’ll work with you to find the right fit. You could just lend a hand now and again with occasional events and odd jobs – we’re always looking for volunteers to help out.
Every volunteer plays a vital role in our mission: empowering communities to live healthier, more sustainable lives. We’re building a volunteering offer that reflects the needs and strengths of our communities. Opportunities will grow over time, and we’re committed to making volunteering accessible, meaningful, and rewarding for everyone.
