📸 Photos from our first ‘give it a go’ activity of the academic year.

🧑‍🌾 11 students worked together this afternoon to plant spring bulbs ‘lasagne’ style (multiple layers of bulbs planted in various layers in a pot, to bloom at various points of the year), as well as make a bug hotel and work on building a path at the side of the garden.

💚 Fancy getting involved next time? You can help out at the Chaplaincy Garden every Thursday, 11am – 3pm. No booking required - just turn up when you're free!

Our Chester Student Dog Walker Project Coordinators were at the Sports and Society’s fair today.

Our dog walking project is a volunteer project which sees students walking dogs for members of the community who would otherwise struggle to walk their dogs themselves.

You can also catch our Project Coordinators at the Volunteer Fair in Small Hall, Exton Park on Thursday 22nd October, 12pm – 2pm.

🌳 We enjoyed wildlife recording with RECORD at the Countess of Chester Country Park today.

🔍 Lots of wildlife was spotted at the park but our best find has to be a ‘wood leopard moth’ on campus before we set off.

🗑️ Our next give it a go session is Litter Picking, taking place next Tuesday, 2pm – 3:30pm – register on Volunteer Hub to get involved.
