They will be held on:

Saturday, May 27, 2pm, at St Ann’s Well Gardens. Meet by the park well;

Sunday, May 28, 11am, at Stanmer Park. Meet at the Lower Lodges park entrance;

A further introduction to volunteering event will be held at Ladies Mile on Friday, June 2, starting at 11am.

Brighton & Hove City Council has organised the events after 3,500 people responded to the council’s Big Parks Consultation last year – and over a thousand said they would be interested in volunteering.

The events will provide an opportunity to meet parks staff, discuss ideas and find out how to get involved. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Volunteers in Hove are also invited to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into a clean up session at Hove Park on May 28, starting at 10am. Meet near the play area.

The session will include meeting rangers, helping clean up and finding ways to help keep the park clean.
