Volunteering with FrEP

There is an ever-increasing need for volunteers to carry out the tasks we perform due to stretched Council budgets so please consider joining us to help with this work.

If you can spare any time, even on a very irregular basis, you would be most welcome to join us. The more volunteers the greater the difference we will make to the fabric of our Parish. You will be surprised how much a small work party can achieve. We have the equipment; all we need is more volunteers.

Training will be given to those volunteers who would wish to use our power tools during our work. Tabards and gloves will be supplied to all volunteers and if you want to take part in regular litter picking suitable equipment will also be provided.
