AN INVITATION TO HELP ON THURSLEY NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE


To follow up from all the fund raising activities for the recovery of Thursley NNR, we would like to invite you to help with the on going re-building of the boardwalk network, of which some of the funds were spent on.

We intend to hold a work day on Sunday 28th of September for the people of Thursley and Elstead villages.

We plan to meet at the Moat car park at 10.30 am, and finish around 3 pm.
If you are interested in helping for the day, or as long as you can spare, please phone the number below to register your interest.  Please leave a contact number and name so we can get back in touch.

On the day numbers of helpers will be limited, if we get a lot of interest we may hold 2 workdays, this is due to the nature of the task, too many people ultimately  get in each others way, as we will be working in a confined area.

All tools will be provided on the day, as will training.
Please bring some food and drink and wear suitable clothing and footwear.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thursley NNR

HELP IN ELSTEAD .. COME AND LEARN ABOUT US!


Help in Elstead is a voluntary organisation, run by Elstead villagers.  We offer support in all sorts of ways to those without access to other resources. Our service is available to those living within 2 miles of the village green.

The sort of help we give is:-

  • Transport for hospital and other visits
  • Transport for shopping etc.
  • Prescription and pension collection
  • Sitting to relieve carers
  • Form filling
  • Small practical jobs such as changing light bulbs

We would love to hear from anyone who would like to help occasionally - There is no need to have a regular commitment but becoming involved is an excellent way of finding out more about village life and of meeting new people.

If you would like to find out more about us without commitment - Help in Elstead will have a stand on the village green on Saturday the 20th September from 10 am to 1 pm - this is the same day as the W I art show at the United Reformed Church.
