The QPCC has enlisted Lizzy’s Help to organise some activities over Easter. These will all be respectful of the prevailing safety restrictions.
Seven days of fun from Saturday, 3rd April. The Bunny Truck will be touring out local streets, egging people on to donate to the Food Bank. Keep a look out for them in your street!
Sadly, we don’t feel able to hold our usual counting session in the park this year but the HCGA and QP Community Council have some ideas to help you join in.
They will be giving away bird feeding kits which contain everything you need to take part in the bird count, along with lots of resources to help you make your own bird feeder to feed the birds in your garden or neighbourhood.
As part of your permitted daily exercise, come and pick up a free Bird Feeder Kit on Thursday 28 January 2021 between 12-2pm outside the Rose Garden in Queens Park Gardens. Social distancing rules will apply. https://t.co/2RTorlZTaE
