News And Events

This Saturday and Sunday your local Policing team will be on hand in the cafe area of the Pump House to help keep safe those new Christmas bicycle’s and scooters by offering free bike/scooter marking and also acid etching for a small fee of £1.50 per item.

Just turn up between 1pm and 3pm on Saturday and 2pm and 4pm on Sunday.

Zoe, one of the DWT Pump House volunteers has written an article about last Friday’s Tree dressing in Gheluvelt Park – we’re lucky to have such a talent on our team.

It has been brought to our attention that the volunteer task dates are difficult to locate on this site as they are pushed off the current page by newer posts. A permanent link can be found by navigating to the About Us tab, then Job Vacancies and Volunteering Opportunities and scrolling down to the Conservation Task Diary Dates link 3/4 of the way down the page. Alternatively, you can give your mouse a rest and click here

Ironically, this post will also be pushed down by newer posts, so please take note of where to find the dates.
