Artist/ Craftsperson for Kennedy Way Community Garden, Clacton for CVS Tendring

Calling Volunteers!

Creative Upcycle Artist/ Craftsperson - is this you?

Volunteers are needed to help start a new creative upcycling project in the community garden. Training and support will be provided by CVST.

The Kennedy Way Community Garden has been regenerated by the NHS Estates Team, working in collaboration with CVS Tendring to help local residents with their physical and mental wellbeing. The garden is a space allowing you to be out in the fresh air, make new friends, learn and share new skills and to be part of the larger community.

The Community space has a Community Garden growing both flowers and vegetables, a Men's Shed, an upcycling hub, an Outdoor Gym, a seating area and a meeting place for Walking Groups.

As part of making our space inclusive, we aim to be welcoming to anyone who would benefit from the physical, emotional and social benefits of our community garden.

We need volunteers who are creative and would like to be involved in creative projects in the garden working out of the upcycling hub. We are looking for artists or craftspeople who are interested in upcycling and working with the community to be creative and passing on their skills and knowledge.

Interested? Register your interest on www.volunteeressex.org or call CVST on 01255 425692 and ask for Nicky.
