🦇 It's #NationalGardeningWeek! Bats use our gardens as an important source of food & shelter. As their natural habitats become more scarce, our gardens are playing a more important role in securing a future for bats.

What's it like to volunteer with HCGA? One of our lovely volunteers made this fantastic video so you can see what it is like to be a volunteer - including lots of weeding, gardening in all weathers and of course lots of tea and biscuits

Why not host a 'Play Street' this summer?

With warmer weather approaching, it's the perfect time to transform your local street into a temporary playground. Connect with your neighbours, and let your children enjoy active outdoor play.
