Friends of Ordsall Parks are looking for new volunteers to help keep their local area tidy.
If you don’t mind tramping about with fellow Ordsall people picking up bits and pieces from windblown fences and children’s play areas then now’s your chance.
Alongside the litter clearups at Ordsall Park and Monmouth Park there’s flower planting and gardening to get involved in.
Digging away at inaccessible places
Feel better about the area you live in by getting active.
