๐ Why It Matters
AbPhab's garden is a very special memorial garden for Neil Who was the club's very first young person to sign up when the Youth Club in 1997 and went on to campaign prolifically for the rights of disabled people
The staff team have been very busy over the summer and need help refreshing the garden.
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 and 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!
I hope to see you there!!
