Volunteering With The Friends
.
.
Thank you for reading our volunteering page.
We really welcome your help, your energy, and, more importantly, your personality. We thrive and grow on getting involved with others.
So what do we do? We are generally busy organising nice "things" around Harrow Weald, Harrow, The Wealds and the general area. (Note that to classify all of the "things" we do would make a very, very long read!)
Our park is a community centre with a hive of "things" going on
Some people offer time, others their professional skills, together volunteers are making a real difference to transforming a local park and area.
You are different from me (the writer) in fact thankfully we are all different from one another and embrace our differences, which is why everything works.
There are so many ways you can help make a difference to your area. Volunteers meet new people! Volunteers talk to the faces they see around! Volunteers feel a massive sense of happiness at being involved! Volunteers help make other peoples lives a little better is many ways!

Creating a place to relax
The goal is to help other people love our parks, get kids involved so when we are older, we have nice parks to chill in.
This can only happen by teaching and showing people young and old that parks are great places when loved and respected by all of the community together.
Positivity trumps moaning
We all moan about the Council, some people "at the council" are rubbish, others are so amazing you would be shocked about how much care and love they put in, but often are restricted or stopped by silly rules, lack of funding or just bad service levels.
it's our crib, area and community!
When a new decision maker joins any council up and down the country and makes bad decisions or mistakes, they simply leave, we live here and are left with the mistakes.
