A Fantastic Team Effort in the Park
TODAY
I would like to say a huge thank you to Sonia who stood in for me, in my absence today, and led a very successful volunteering session including a total of 35 volunteers. In addition to our regular volunteers we also hosted Debbie and her 2 French visitors (see picture 1 where they tidying up the hedging around the wild flower meadow), Rebecca and Byanna from Carrier, and Anna, Inayah, Saran and Grace from the Greater Manchester Central Admin. Everybody was made very welcome.
