Activity Mornings Schedule : April 2024 - June 2024
All Friday activity mornings begin at 10am. Gloves will be provided as well as essential PPE and tools, as required. Tasks are subject to change due to urgent repairs or weather issues but the
meeting place
will always be
Westerham Road car park
. In general the first 10 to 20 minutes will be allocated to litter picking around the ponds and adjacent areas before moving to the main task. Volunteers should bring their own refreshments as these will not be provided at this time.
PLEASE NOTE
: The tasks in this programme are the main task for the day and if you don't feel that the task is for you please do come out anyway because there are always other things that can be done, by anybody of any ability or age. The main thing is that you enjoy yourself and we get things done that we would struggle to achieve without the help of volunteers. All volunteers need to read and acknowledge the risk assessments before starting work on
i
dverde led tasks.
