Helping Hands

We are a volunteer team that practically demonstrates relentless love, by doing gardening maintenance for elderly residents of a nearby housing estate who would struggle to do it for themselves.

Helping Hands runs once a month on a Saturday morning, meeting at Stairway at 8.30am and finishing by 11am. For upcoming dates, please check the Stairway calendar.

All ages and skill levels are welcome. If you would like to join us, please contact us using the button below.

Help

A major portion of how we are able to do what we do is because of a generous group of volunteers who come along side us. If you are considering joining us or would prefer assistance, we would love the opportunity to come alongside you.
