Gardening Buddies is Looking for Volunteers

Added 3 June
Valid until 31 July

Gardening Buddies is a new Volunteer Gardening Service for people in the local area, and they're looking for volunteers. The aim is to create a team of local volunteers to support people living at home, who love their gardens, but are no longer able to manage the upkeep themselves. They're looking for keen gardeners who have their own gardening tools, and their own transport. Typical gardening tasks may include grass cutting, tidying borders, and pruning shrubs and low hedges. The work will be light and safe, with nothing too strenuous. Just as important, volunteers will provide a friendly face and companionship, to help brighten someone’s day. Also needed, is a small group of administration volunteers to help with managing and co-ordinating volunteers, allocating gardening requests, carrying out basic risk assessments, supporting the smooth running of the service and assisting with finances, safeguarding, and volunteer training. Whether you can spare a few hours a week, or would like to be more involved, any help would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in helping, please get in touch with Keith, at gardeningbuddies@yahoo.com.

Hillworth Park Yoga is Back for The Summer

Added 2 April
Valid until 12 September

Park Yoga is back in Hillworth Park for the summer season. The sessions last an hour, starting at 9.30am, and run every Sunday morning from May the 3rd through to September the 13th. If you've not experienced Park Yoga, it's a great way to try yoga for the first time. You don't have to take part in the whole session, many people take moments of rest, and enjoy the fresh air, while watching the clouds go by. There's no need to book, just go along. Take a yoga mat if you have one, but if you don't, a towel or blanket will do.
