Oxspring Voluteer Day 4th July
The Oxspring Green Champions (Formally the Titivators) are organising a day for local residents to help out with jobs around the village. These vary from weeding, litter picking, cleaning and generally improving our local environment.
There will be two starting times at 10:30 & 1:30 pm.
Come along to St Aidan's and find what is available and where, one of our volunteers will be based at each location.
Please do bring with you some gloves and basic tools. I.e. trowel/fork/Secateurs or some soapy water and cleaning cloths.
We will update this page with further details as they develop.
If you have any questions please email ianyems@oxspring-parish.com
We look forward to seeing you on the 4th July.
