Get involved
Together we can do more
Join us as a volunteer
We love to hear from new volunteers and there are many ways to get involved. For example: help with the Sale Support Hub, support community events and trips or maintain our green spaces.
Volunteering with us means you’re part of something bigger, meeting like-minded people, and using your time and talents to make a big difference right on your doorstep.
Contact susan.astbury@oursalewest.co.uk to find out more, or drop in for a chat.
Join our board
If you live in the Sale area and are interested in joining our board, we would love to hear from you.
Our board makes decisions about what projects to run and how to meet our community’s needs. We welcome people from all walks of life who would like to contribute to their community.
“I became a board member because I wanted to make a difference on my estate. By being involved in Our Sale West I feel I am really representing my community and putting into action what they want.”
Lynne Stewart, Board Member

Meet our volunteers
We would not be able to do what we do, without our wonderful team of volunteers! Here you can find out more about two volunteers, Damian and Becka.
Damian has been a resident of Sale West for over 30 years. He helps with The Bread and Butter Thing, Foodshare and gardening. He has also recently trained to repair bikes and scooters for use by residents. He says: “After a period of unemployment, I was turning into a ‘house hermit’. Our Sale West has helped tons to improve my life. I like to bring a smile to people’s faces and helping everyone helps me too.”
Becka has been a Sale West resident all her life and considers the community to be ‘family’. She is now a member of the Our Sale West Board and has contributed to the Poverty Truth Commission project. Our Sale West provided her with a camera to help her pursue her dream of being a professional photographer. She is also a leader in the Youth Club.
Why does she volunteer? She says: “Giving back in different ways gives me a sense of purpose. Being a Board member is one of the best things I’ve been able to do for the community.”
