Can you help with gardening at the School house cottage?

As everyone may be aware, the school house cottage is currently undergoing refurbishment with a view to reletting it within the next couple of months. 

The income from rental of the cottage is vital to the trust’s ability to continue its charitable work for all the children of Horley so we are trying to keep costs down where possible.

The garden is in need of mowing, weeding and general tidying while the property is empty and this is a plea to anyone in the village who may be able to give even just an hour of their time (whenever convenient) to help out.

The trustees are working as much as possible on the refurbishment so any help we can get in the garden would be gratefully received.

Please contact Julie Attfield on 07849929661 or Julie.attfield@btinternet.com or any of the Trustees

It really would be so appreciated.
