   Green Aiders
Groundwork's Green Aiders project is a free gardening-in-the-community scheme,
giving volunteers from the local community the opportunity to make a real difference
to the surrounding area and to people's lives.
Running in Dacorum and Watford, the Green Aiders
programme is helping elderly and vulnerable people most in need to care for their gardens,
but running weekly tasks of up to 3 hours for local volunteers.
No experience is necessary
as Groundwork will provide training and guidance on the day. Becoming a Green Aider is a
great way to meet new people, improve fitness and make a genuine contribution to the local
community. Everyone is welcome regardless of age or level of ability, although children
must be accompanied by an adult. Each session will offer a range of tasks and volunteers
can work at their own pace, so there really is something for everybody.
For more information about becoming a volunteer or to put forward a local resident
who might benefit from help, please contact Ellie Turner at Groundwork on 01707 255184 or
