We nurture and preserve our green spaces and regenerate our woodlands and streams ensuring they remain welcoming, well cared for and a source of pride for all.
Founded in August 2024, the group grew from a simple act of clearing an overgrown path into a thriving community initiative.
Volunteering with the Sunflowers is about bringing people together to make a positive difference with the ethos ofĀ āHow can we support each otherā¦?ā
