Get involved in keeping Gateshead tidy

Environmental volunteers

There are lots of different opportunities. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, find out from the experts about our amazing wildlife and work outside doing something worthwhile. It's also a great way to improve your health and wellbeing.

Estate walkabouts

A great opportunity for council tenants to meet with their local Neighbourhood Housing Officer, accompany them as they walk around the neighbourhood, discuss issues to be reported, and give feedback on how the estate can be improved. The estate walkabouts are on pre-arranged dates and times, so you can plan your attendance.

Community clean ups

Throughout the year we will organise clean up days focusing on a particular area or neighbourhood. These will include a variety of services including the removal of litter, rubbish and graffiti and our arbour team. Look out for us out and about!
