Macclesfield Town Council is looking for local people to help keep the town looking its best and to support community festivals throughout the year in Macclesfield, Cheshire. The council launched the call for helpers in January 2026, focusing on two main areas: helping with outdoor gardening and assisting with town celebrations.
Residents who enjoy being outdoors can join the gardening team to help the town prepare for the Britain in Bloom competition. Volunteers will work alongside the Town Ranger team to look after flower displays and keep public spaces tidy. This work helps maintain the town’s reputation for high-quality floral displays and green spaces.
There are also roles available to help run major town events such as the Step into Christmas light switch-on and the Nature Needs You environmental day. Helpers are needed for activities during Easter and Halloween as well, with roles that include stewarding and other event-support duties to help make sure events run safely for families.
Assistant Town Clerk Helena Gowler is managing the recruitment and providing a handbook to help new starters get settled into their roles. People who want to see the full list of available tasks can visit the Macclesfield Town Council website. For those looking for different types of charity work, the CVS Cheshire East hub also lists many other ways to help out in the local area.
