Siverdale Hall Playground - Event 16th March
Siverdale Hall Playground - Event 16th March
Silverdale Hall is 8 Silverdale, near the old sorting office, and I have just been asked to post here about its new playground, which is coming soon. The event this coming Saturday is a "volunteer day and spring celebration", from 11:00AM-5:00PM.
Re: Siverdale Hall Playground - Event 16th March
Quick bump - another chance to meet people locally, and help make a difference to the community - help finish off the good work I saw these young men helping with earlier this week
