TASK 1 GARDEN OVERHAUL Gardening This popular community centre has a large garden that has fell into disuse. The grass and weeds are very overgrown. It has previously been used for community events and summer BBQs, however in its current state this is not really possible. A team would be much appreciated to get the bulk of this project under control – giving the garden a much needed makeover.

TASK 2 Team Size: FRESH COAT OF PAINT Painting It is a well-used community centre, which offers the community a great deal. As it is run solely through the help of volunteers, the centre would really appreciate a helping hand from a team to tackle the job. Here are some more photos of the spaces which need a fresh coat of paint. There are also two smaller office rooms, which would benefit from a fresh coat of paint too.
