STROUD Valleys Project is appealing for volunteers to help plant hedges and install kissing gates.

The town centre-based charity is looking for a team to carry out the work in and around Stroud and Frampton-on-Severn after receiving a £5,000 grant from Gloucestershire County Council.

Anyone who wishes to help can contact SVP on 01453 753 358 or visit the charity’s website at www.stroudvalleysproject.org
