Volunteer Gardeners

Purple Umbrella

Purple Umbrella leads a small gardening group at the Eccy on Thursdays, 11 - 1.  Members have a range of disabilities and attend with their support staff, and each person contributes at their own level.  We have some fun, and do some work, and if the weather is poor we usually do some crafts or potting up.

If you are an able bodied gardener who would like to work with us for a couple of hours each week, helping with the group and with preparing the session we would really like to hear from you too!  (DBS required)

New members welcome.  

 


What skills do I need?
