York BID are looking for volunteers to help spruce up York city centre as part of their Rejuvenation Days.
Volunteers will be cleaning and repainting street furniture like bike racks, benches, bollards, and more.
Since the project launched in January 2024, more than 300 people have given up their time to repaint 1100 pieces of individual infrastructure across 57 different streets.
Before the painting begins, the dedicated BID Street Cleaning Team will prep the area by power washing, cleaning away weeds, and removing stickers and posters. The BID is also working with City of York Council to tackle the more stubborn bits – like broken plastic bollards – and get them properly refreshed.
There’s still space to join some of the upcoming June sessions:
- Thursday 12th June,
- Tuesday 17th June,
- Thursday 26th June
Carl Alsop, Operations Manager at York BID, said: “Since we started this project, we’ve been blown away by the support and enthusiasm from businesses, residents, and community groups. Over 300 people have already got stuck in and it’s been brilliant to see everyone come together to make our city centre a cleaner and more welcoming space. We can’t wait to see what the next few months bring!”
