Volunteers for South Lane Cemetery grass cutting
St. Mary’s Church is in earnest need of help …
Help is needed to bolster the small team of ageing volunteers who currently maintain the cemetery in South Lane.
As a result of the pandemic, the church has lost the services of the Community Payback Team which did such a good job at cutting and clearing away.
As it stands, the church simply cannot maintain the space to the same standard with the resources it has.
St. Mary’s would be extremely grateful to anyone who has a few hours to spare and would be prepared to join them occasionally to help with this valuable task.
