Calling Volunteers!
Mens Shed and/or Meeter and Greeter - is this you?
A team of volunteers are needed
to help volunteer in The Men's Shed within the Kennedy Way Community Garden.
Training and support will be provided by CVST.
The Kennedy Way Community Garden has been regenerated by the NHS Estates Team, working in collaboration with CVS Tendring to help local residents with their physical and mental wellbeing. The garden is a space allowing you to be out in the fresh air, make new friends, learn and share new skills and to be part of the larger community.
The Community space has a
Community Garden growing both flowers and vegetables, a Men's Shed, an Outdoor
Gym, a seating area and a meeting place for Walking Groups.
As part of making our space
inclusive, we aim to be welcoming to anyone who would benefit from the
physical, emotional and social benefits of our community garden.
The Men's Shed is for woodwork and social interaction. The movement originated in Australia around the 1980s as a way to improve Men's health and wellbeing.
Interested? Register your
interest on www.volunteeressex.org.uk or
