Saturday 31st May | 9am – 1pm | Everyone Welcome!
At St David’s Church, our graveyard is more than just a resting place—it’s a space for reflection, nature, and peace. But maintaining it is a constant challenge. Unlike public parks, we receive no funding from the council or government, and with the last burial taking place over a decade ago, the funds from past burials have long since run out.
That’s why we rely on our community to help keep this sacred space beautiful.
Why Your Help Matters
Our vision is to transform the graveyard into:
- A haven for wildlife – Encouraging biodiversity with wildflowers and native plants.
- A peaceful retreat – A place where people can escape the busyness of life and find stillness.
- A well-kept, respectful space – Honouring those laid to rest here while making it welcoming for visitors.
But we can’t do it alone!
How You Can Help
We’re holding a Gardening Day on Saturday 31st May (9am–1pm), and we’d love you to join us no matter your experience! Whether you can spare an hour or the whole morning, every bit of help makes a difference.
We particularly need:
✔ Petrol trimmers (for cutting back overgrown grass and brambles)
✔ Wheelbarrows & shovels (for moving cuttings and soil)
✔ Gloves, rakes, and secateurs (if you have them!)
✔ Enthusiastic volunteers (all ages and abilities welcome)
No tools? No problem! Just bring yourself—there’s always something to do.
A Community Effort
This isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about coming together as a community to care for a space that belongs to all of us. Whether you’re a regular at St David’s or just someone who loves gardening (or wants to try it!), we’d be so grateful for your support.
Let’s make our graveyard a place of beauty, nature, and peace for today and future generations.
When? Saturday 31st May, 9am–1pm (drop in anytime!)
Where? St David’s Church Graveyard
