Four people required to move heavy bench in support of the Park

Help install a new accessible bench at Stephens House & Gardens

Support the Friends of Stephens House & Gardens by helping move and position a heavy new accessible bench.

The Friends of Stephens House & Gardens need a few strong pairs of hands to help install a new accessible bench between the two raised gardens, between Inky’s and the main lawn.

The bench is very heavy, so we are looking for at least four people to help Andy and the Friends group safely move it into place. The job itself should be fairly quick — likely only a few minutes of lifting and positioning — but it will make a lasting difference by improving access and comfort for visitors to the gardens.

This is a simple, practical community task supporting one of Barnet’s much-loved local green spaces.

Date and time

Saturday 16 May Meet from 9.00am Timing may be adjusted slightly depending on volunteer availability.

Location

Stephens House & Gardens Meet near the raised gardens between Inky’s and the main lawn.

What we’ll be doing

Helping the Friends group move and fit a heavy accessible bench into position.

What to bring

Who this is suitable for

This task involves lifting a heavy bench, so it is best suited to volunteers who are comfortable with a short but heavy physical task.
