๐ŸŒž Why It Matters

AbPhab's garden is a very special memorial garden for Neil who was the club's very first young person to sign up when the Youth Club opened in 1987, and went on to campaign prolifically for the rights of disabled people.

The staff team have been very busy over the summer and need help refreshing the garden.

AbPhab provides incredible opportunities for 11-25 year-olds with special educational needs and disabilities, and our task will make the garden ready for young people to use, including harvesting the fruit & vegetables for cooking sessions!

  • Kelly, Sarah & Louise - the heart of the AbPhab youth team

Come along for a relaxed and friendly evening of volunteering โ€“ no experience needed, just bring your energy and community spirit!
