FUNDING BOOST FOR VOLUNTEER TRAINING !!

Community Gardening Volunteers in Clayton-le-Moors have received specialist training on how to safely and correctly use the various hand tools needed to care for community Green Spaces.

The volunteers from Mercer House 1842 spent the day in Mercer Park using hedgetrimmers, blowers, strimmers and mowers under the careful watch of  Gordon Mason, Working Foreman with Hyndburn Council’s Parks Department. 

Now the training is complete, the volunteers will be out and about in the community ensuring that untidy and poorly maintained areas can look good again.

Mercer House 1842 recently obtained funding from healthHeal CIC with money raised through the Health Lottery to train up more volunteers as part of the “It’s 4 Me @ the AWC project”.
