๐ Why It Matters
AbPhab's garden is a special memorial garden for Neil who was the club's very first young person to sign-up when it opened in 1997.Neil went on to campaign tirelessly for the rights of disabled people in Barking & Dagenham and beyond
Deputy Managers Sarah, Kelly and the rest of AbPhab team need help refreshing the garden; during the spring we'll be painting and varnishing the vegetable planters and archway, giving the whole garden a thorough weeding, laying new stone pebbles in the borders and helping install art work.
AbPhab provides incredible opportunities for 11-25 year-olds with special educational needs and disabilities, and our task will make the garden ready for young people to use, including harvesting the fruit & vegetables for cooking sessions!
๐ Who Youโll Meet
- Kelly & Sarah - the heart of the AbPhab youth team
Come along for a relaxed and friendly evening of volunteering โ no experience needed, just bring your energy and community spirit!
We hope to see you there!!
