St Hilary Church welcomes anybody with an interest in flower arranging to be a member of the annual rota.

We're looking for wonderful volunteers to join the pool of residents who help maintain the village throughout the year. In autumn and winter, you'll assist with leaf blowing in the churchyard to help keep the paths dry and safe , while in spring and summer, you'll help trim the verges to make the village even more attractive.
We provide high-quality, cordless Sthil equipment and full training, so no prior experience is needed!
Unlike 3Cs, this is individual work (as there’s only one tool per task), making it ideal for villagers who want to contribute but may not have time during the week. The tasks are flexible, based on the weather and seasonal needs, requiring only about 3-4 sessions a year.
Interested? Email

Cut, clear and clean group
10am Tuesday, 25 November (Christmas lights up)
10am Wednesday, 6 January (Christmas lights down)

Every 3rd Wednesday of the month (normally!). Everybody is welcome to join us – meet at the church lytch gate.
