What an amazing weekend of volunteers coming together to make a real difference in our village.
Our brilliant bulb planters in Kingswood managed to get 600 bulbs into the ground, ready to pop up next spring and bring us a wonderful splash of colour.
There are still nearly 1,000 bulbs waiting to be planted, so if you can offer a little green-fingered help, please get in touch with .
Meanwhile, some of our litter-picking volunteers (Kingswood, Tadworth & Lower Kingswood) joined forces for a mega pick along the A217, collecting a staggering 50 sacks of rubbish.
On one hand, it’s incredibly frustrating that people continue to trash the countryside that should be protected and treasured. But on the other, it’s incredibly heartening to see a community of people who genuinely care, giving up their time to clean up other people’s mess.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who shows up and gets stuck in to help make our village(s) a better place.
Want to help with the planting? Please contact .
Want to join the litter pick? Our next Kingswood village litter pick is Sunday 4 October at 10:30am. We’ll meet outside the Village Hall, with tea and coffee afterwards.
Everyone welcome!
