 Voluteer for the BRaG Big Help Out 

Monday, 8th May - Dowler Court

 

Be part of something benefiting our local community!

As part of the National Day of Community Volunteering on bank holiday Monday 8th May, BRaG have been in contact with our local councillors who are currently planning to renovate the large back garden at Dowler Court in Burton Rd, a sheltered housing development run by the council.

 

The garden has been sadly neglected over the lockdown and the residents are currently unable to use it.

 

Phase one is to clear the area.  Then a consultation will be held with residents to establish how they would like to use it.  Early ideas include a possible wildlife garden, including a pond, woodpiles, composting area, seating, a weather station and wildlife habitat/housing and even possibly webcams.

 

We are looking for volunteers on Monday 8th May to:
1. Help clear the garden and repurpose the pallets, pots etc. that are already there . No experience necessary!
2. Serve refreshments to the volunteers from an outside gazebo area

 

Children are welcome to attend provided they are supervised by accompanying adults at all times.
