Calico CSR event

Calico had been in touch with me and wanted to organise a corporate volunteering event. This is where employees from a company or organisation request the help of the employees to volunteer with a group. This helps promote sustainability and selfless work within the community that helps benefit all. It also assists me in tasks I would like completed to better the parks and increase awareness of all that is involved in maintaining parks. Calico managed to provide roughly 17 volunteers. I split the group in two and had one half undertake litter picking between Thompson park and Queens Park. The other half worked with me weeding the rose beds. After lunch the two halves of the group switched activities and I had a new batch work with me weeding the rose beds whilst the other half embarked upon litter picking. Both groups performed well. They managed to collect ten full bags of rubbish that would otherwise be littering the streets and parks. I managed to weed six rose Beds. A lot of work can be accomplished in a small amount of time when you have many helping hands. Thank you Calico!
