Gardening

Paul Clark MP digs in as one of our gardening volunteers.

FOR elderly and disabled people the sight of their overgrown garden, which once they carefully tended, can be depressing. It can also be a sign that a vulnerable person lives in the house.

Our team of volunteer gardeners undertake simple tasks to ensure the garden is tidy. They work under strict Health & Safety guidelines and our Manager undertakes risk assessments before the gardeners are assigned their duties.

The clients not only benefit from the practical help but also enjoy the company of a friendly volunteer. A small charge is made to cover expenses.

If you are interested in our Gardening Scheme, or would like to register with us as a gardening volunteer, please call John Guy on 01634 362119.
