Gardening

What does it do?

Age UK is running a Trusted Gardening Service pilot, aimed at older people. We have teamed up with a business run by our long term volunteer, Melvyn Brant.

In addition to gardening Melvyn has volunteered with us as a Befriender for a number of years and as such has a good understanding of the issues faced by older people who live on their own. Melvyn can help with basic lawn maintenance, hedge cutting, tidying, and other straightforward garden maintenance jobs.
