We are looking for a group of volunteers to help out in our St Albans Mencap assisted living house to make our garden user friendly.Detailed description
We support four gentlemen with learning disabilities and physical disabilities who all have a passion for being out in the fresh air, especially in the sun! They very much like to use the garden to host parties and BBQs.
We have a very large garden that we would love your help to restore it to its former glory so that our residents can once again utilise it for activities they have been missing.
We have one resident in particular that would to love to assist you with this project. He has a passion for gardening, as a child he used to work on a farm with his family and this is a memory that he is very fond of.
As a volunteer, you would not need to be a garden expert, but we do wish that you have a passion for being outdoors and getting your hands dirty.
Thistle be the best job ever!
