GET INVOLVED

Our Aims are to promote the preservation, restoration, and improvement of St Ann's Well gardens for the education and benefit of the public, by associating the local authority and local community in a common effort to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the lives of local inhabitants. We rely on membership subscriptions and donations to support the work we do.

VOLUNTEER

  

If you would like to get involved in the work of The Friends of St Ann's Well  we have different WORKING GROUPS covering various aspects of our work.

​

Throughout the year, the Events Team puts on a wide variety of events, attracting people from across the City.  These events support local artists, crafters and performers as well as the Artists Open Houses. Help with ideas, planning, collecting boxes or assisting musicians and performers is always needed.  From Theatre in the Park to the Christmas Market there is something to suit all interests. 

 

The enthusiastic Wildlife Group is key to ensuring that the Park’s plants and wildlife flourish.  The changing seasons bring many different challenges and new suggestions for improving diversity and the environment are always welcome. Volunteers help planting wildflowers,  the RSPB annual  bird count. There is always something new in nature to learn and people are very happy to share friendly help and advice.

​

We have an active Gardening Team, who meet generally on Mondays improving the Sensory Garden by weeding, pruning, tidying and planting new plants in the raised beds and borders. Our volunteers also installed new trellis on the south pergola, and above all kept the new plants alive through last summer’s heatwave by watering several evenings a week.

​

We also organise quarterly TidyUp  sessions, where Friends members and local residents give the Gardens a spruce up by mass litter-picking.​
