We however need your help! If you have a few minutes, please help us maintain our flower beds by watering the new trees or litter pick the rubbish. It is simple, we have all the equipment ready for you accessible from the shed. Send us an email at info@youractonbid.co.uk and we will give you the access code. You can use the water canister to fill from our water tank or use gloves and litter pickers to pick up the rubbish inside and around the beds.
