We want to maintain our beautiful park, and continue to build a vibrant and welcoming community and we need your help!
Can you spare a few hours, a few days? Perhaps you work for a company that has staff volunteering days and supports local initiatives? There are lots of ways to support us.
Gardening
If you enjoy getting out into the fresh air and have some time to spare, why not join our friendly bunch of gardeners? Currently, volunteers meet every Wednesday and Saturday morning. Times vary, so do check first if you plan on joining them. Come along as little or often as you like, theres always tasks to be done.
If you have a particular expertise, e.g. a way with roses, or a love of growing from seed, we would love to learn from you.
Anyone can join in, you don’t need to be an expert gardener as there will always be someone that can show you what to do. We have plenty of tools, we just need you!
Other ideas
Theres always lots to do, and its not all outdoors. We need a diversity of skills and it needn’t be a big commitment.
For example, our annual fete is always very popular, and relies on a lot of people to make it a success. You can get involved in the planning or just by helping out on the day.
We are also open to suggestions for other activities in the park, big or small. Perhaps you would like to organise a fun activity for children? A talk on the flora and wildlife? A social event for older members of the community?
We would really love to hear your ideas and get you involved.
