We’ll be supporting TCV with the Castletoun Project in Castlemilk Park, carrying out practical conservation tasks such as path maintenance, removing overhanging branches, and litter picking to help improve and maintain this valuable green space.
The site is located within communities in the bottom 10% of the SIMD, meaning your efforts will have a meaningful social impact as well as environmental benefits – making this a truly rewarding way to spend your day
Whether you’re looking to clear your head, stay active, or give back, this is a great opportunity to de-stress, meet new people, and make a tangible difference.
🕒 Timings & Transport:
Transport will be provided by TCV (picking volunteers up from University Avenue at the Main Gate), and the session on site will run approximately from 10.15am to 2.30pm.
