Dig your way into work with gardening scheme

The Diamond Jubilee Central Bedfordshire Volunteer Community Task Force was set up by community stalwart, Ken Lynch, to help older and younger people.

People looking for a job can volunteer to tidy senior citizens’ gardens for free in the Biggleswade and Sandy area.

In return they have experience for their CVs and a reference. Shuttleworth College has also offered the volunteers, who can be of any age, free horticulture training. To volunteer call Ken on 01767 681739.
