A NEW date has been set for the Great British Spring Clean of Farnham town centre.

The community litter pick, which was due to take place last month, was postponed because of the snow.

It will now be held on Saturday, April 14, and Farnham Town Council (FTC) is calling for volunteers to join in.

Anybody wishing to take part is invited to meet at the council office in South Street at 10am.

The town council will provide protective clothing such as gloves and high visibility jackets, as well as litter pickers and black sacks.

Families, young people, individuals and community groups will be warmly welcomed.

As a small ‘thank you’, tea, coffee and cake will be served to volunteers in the council office at the end of the litter pick.

For more information or to find out how to organise a litter pick in the area you live, please contact Lara Miller at FTC on 01252 712667 or email [email protected].

The town council is also holding free gardening workshops during the school Easter holidays for children aged six and over.

Bloomin’ Kids Gardening Workshops is a fun and educational way to involve younger residents in Farnham in Bloom.

The sessions will be held on Tuesday, April 10, and Thursday, April 12, at the town council’s greenhouses in West Street.

There will be two sessions on each day from 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm.

Children will be able to take part in a number of seasonal tasks while learning exciting facts and practical skills.

Places are limited, so book in advance by visiting www.farnham.gov.uk.
