Join our village maintenance volunteer team!


LeafBlower

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.
