CITY SIKHS & City Hindus Network Sewa Day Initiative – Volunteer in Victoria Park

October 7, 2012 @ 10:45 am - 3:00 pm

Victoria Park is one of London’s most important historic parks and its oldest public park. It has been used by millions of Londoners for nearly 170 years as a place of healthy recreation, sports, play and relaxation. A park is a public space for us all to enjoy. Working together to take care of something that belongs to all of us is a way for us to connect with each other, build community spirit and a way to give back to the community. This year, City Sikhs Network and the City Hindus Network will host a joint volunteering event. The day’s activities will include pruning (trimming) of an overgrown area near the Pagoda island, bulb planting new flower beds and having fun!

Timings: Please arrive for 10:45am so we can start at 11am. We aim to finish at around 3pm.

Location: Meeting point – Pavilion Cafe, Royal Gate West at Victoria Park, Grove Road, Bow, London E3 (closest tube station: Mile End; or short bus ride from Canary Wharf bus 277).

Number of volunteers required: Up to 60.

What to bring: Wear warm appropriate clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty and a pair of sensible boots for some light digging. You will be provided with gloves, tools and high-visibility vest / Sewa Day t-shirt.

Next steps: If you are interested, in taking part, please register with Thalbir Kaur Shokar at thalbir@www.citysikhs.com and cc info@cityhindusnetwork.org.uk on your registration email. Thank you 🙂
