Keep Newtown Clean was a success

We had an excellent turnout of volunteers on June 4th.  It was particularly good to see Ana, the Community Engagement Co-ordinator from St Vincent de Paul, and the group of VUW students, we hope they come again!  As always, Newtown New World were very generous in supporting the BBQ – we had lots of takers for sausages!

There were two big projects – painting the fence around the Cancer Society carpark, and digging over garden beds and spreading compost at the St Thomas’s Courtyard, ready for some new planting.  As well there was lots of rubbish cleared and graffiti cleaned- it made a real difference.
