Lending a Hand volunteer group repair benches in Little Dene Park

Many thanks to the community volunteers in the Lending a Hand team who have recently repaired the benches in Little Dene Park, High West Jesmond.

We thought you would like to see how much hard work went into cleaning and preparing the third park bench earlier this week.

With many thanks to Steve, David and Cornelia – your efforts are much appreciated by the High West Jesmond community!

FOVALD caring for our green spaces

FOVALD (Friends of the Valley, Little Dene and Little Dene Park) is a small voluntary organisation based in High West Jesmond.

They have adopted the Valley from the City Council and  Little Dene Park from the City’s Freemen (it is part of the Town Moor).

FOVALD also look after the original Little Dene as a nature resource.

On Tuesday mornings, FOVALD organise’s a group called Lending a Hand that does the maintenance & improvement work on the green spaces in this part of High West Jesmond, as well as keeping all the other verges and paths in the area tidy.

Many thanks to FOVALD and to the Lending a Hand group for their ongoing work to enhance our community green spaces.
