Community Volunteering
Saturday June 26th - 2-4pm
We want to try and help out with a little TLC around the streets and parks of Heaton. We aim to help out with the little things that will keep things looking the way we’d all like it. We’ve been working with the Council and with Urban Green (who run the parks) to pull together a list of different jobs that need doing and we’re going to help with two activities
In the Parks – Gardening, weeding and edging tasks. Mostly focussed around benches and steps in Heaton & Armstrong park
In the Streets of Heaton – the council have asked us to take on tidying up and litter picking across 3 zones of Heaton.
- The Terraces either side of Warwick Street
- Some of the Terraces and Avenues either side of Chillingham Road
- The Spinney Estate
Get in touch with us via the Contact section or via a Facebook direct message from our Facebook page if you are interested to join in one of the teams.
We’ll have all the equipment, but you may want to bring your own gloves.
