Dozens of local charities, serving thousands of local people, are in need of a helping hand. It may be a coat of paint in the community room, a clear up of the car park or a bit of advice about the web site. A bit of help from your company could be just the ray of sunshine needed to brighten a grey day. Here at SCVO we can let you know who needs help, and if needed arrange the whole of your Team Day, accommodating the needs of your staff so they have a brilliant time whilst helping others.

Can you spare an hour a month to support our local community litter pick? We meet on the first Saturday of every month at 10am at The Dorothy Parkes Centre and focus on litter picking areas that run along Thimbelmill Brook. Thimblemill Brook is a valued local conservation area and an important site of ecological interest. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including nesting moorhens, woodpeckers, kingfishers and herons. Sadly, littering remains an ongoing problem along the brook, and we urgently need more volunteers to help care for and preserve this special place. Whether you’re passionate about wildlife, care about your local environment, or simply want to give something back to the community, every pair of hands makes a real difference. If you can spare just one hour a month, we would love to hear from you. All ages are welcome. Children under the age of 16 Years old must be accompanied by an adult. Together, we can keep Thimblemill Brook clean, safe and thriving for wildlife and future generations.
