Sorry for the late update ! Its been a busy few days for me personally. We had a great turn out on Saturday for our litter pick and managed to collect quite a few bags, including a shopping trolley and lots of wood planks. Thank you to all that came and we look forward to seeing you next month 😄.

I didn't get everyones photo but I will catch you next time haha !

We did find some gas cylinders which is very annoying to say the least. I will report this to the authorities. Sorry state of affairs when people are using this gas and then disposing over the fence into a cemetery!

Once again a huge thank you to our volunteers 👏

VOLUNTEER DAYS ... Ive been wanting to set up a volunteer bank of people willing to give an hour or so of their time to do small projects within the cemetery. Litter picking, w**ding etc. I will be at the building this Saturday from 9.30 until 12.30pm if anyone wants to pop along for a chat and find out more .

Or Im quite happy for you to private message this page with some contact details and your name etc. I would just announce volunteer days and the contact information would be solely for people thats not on social media. Just so I could send a brief message saying volunteer day such and such day all welcome . No pressure to attend everyone .. just if you are feeling up to it .. and have an hour to spare.

The first volunteer day I was thinking about would be Sarurday 1st August in the morning for a tidy up of the garden of remembrance. Thank yoj
