A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for The Big Help Out! 💙
We’re incredibly grateful to all of our volunteers who gave their time and enthusiasm to support our community.
Thanks to their hard work, a huge amount was achieved across the site. Volunteers litter-picked around the grounds, painted the cricket scoreboard, refreshed the bin stores with a new coat of paint, and cleared away general waste around site.
These improvements have made a real difference, helping the site look cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming for everyone who visits. It was fantastic to see so many people coming together and taking pride in improving the complex. We even had a visit from BBC Radio Tees.
