Green Maintenance
We run regular maintenance days to help bring some of the beds and borders back up to scratch
If you're interested in helping us with some basic maintenance, chopping, weeding etc then please sign up to volunteer and let us know which date you can join us. We'll get back to you to confirm when and where you can lend a hand. There will be full supervision and a health and safety briefing. Or just drop us a message via the contact page

Redcatch Balloon Launch
The Redcatch Balloon Launch was a resounding success. With two out of four balloons finally taking off it was an edge-of-the seat climax to the most wonderful community day in the park. Thanks to all the amazing volunteers that stepped up to help us who gave up their own time to help keep everyone safe.
​
It was such a brilliant day and a a great example that you can think big and aim high. We aimed high when we thought of doing this event in Redcatch Park and it was belief, grit and team work that brought it together.
The whole community turning up en masse to watch it, really was the icing on a balloon size cake!
​
Hopefully we'll be back, bigger and better next year.
