Saintfield Community Association – Environmental Volunteer Opportunity
Description
At the Saintfield Development Association, we have several subgroups, one of these being the Greens.
As a volunteer with the Greens, you will be joining a friendly group of like-minded individuals who love our village and work hard to keep it looking great. We proudly compete in the Ulster in Bloom annual competition and regularly gain plaudits for our displays and the presentation of the village. The Greens also lobby our local council for applicable grants to aid in our projects.
We would love for you to join us.
