AstraZeneca volunteers help out in the park!
Friends of the Park were pleased to welcome 21 AstraZeneca employees to Marple Memorial Park today as part of a scheme to give back to the community. It was certainly a great benefit for us to receive help with painting of the Infants Play Area fence and pruning of four large shrub beds. The volunteers also tackled a job we'd been planning to do ourselves, which was to create new hard-standings under the two Infants Play Area picnic benches. This was a real bonus as they paid for the materials as well as doing a great job!
The whole event was organised and facilitated by a company called Employee Volunteering, who we were very impressed with and would highly recommend to other groups like ours.
