Second Village clean up planned

VILLAGE CLEAN-UP CALL TO ACTION!

Our Village Needs YOU!

Following on from the success of the first ‘Village Clean Up’ event, Manchester’s Village Business Association announce a second clean up on August 16. Commencing at 11am at Sackville Gardens the VBA are calling on you to grab your marigolds, pop on a pinny and come along and join us in continuing to beautify our village.

Tony Cooper, Chair of Friends of Sackville Gardens said; “ It is great initiatives like the VBA’s Village clean up that are starting to help create that community feel on Manchester’s Gay Village again as well as helping people re-engage with the fantastic green space we have in the heart of our Gay Village. Working together we can achieve so much and we are already seeing the benefits around our blooming Gay Village and Park."

The first mass effort to spruce up Manchester’s Gay Village saw a heart-warming effort by all volunteers, producing impressive results including the planting of over 100 plants and flowers in both Sackville Gardens and the village itself. Looking to build upon the already amazing improvements and with Manchester Pride just around the corner, the VBA hope to come together with the local LGBT community on August 16 to bring your gay village aesthetic to the next level and make sure it is truly sparkling for the arrival of thousands of people over the bank holiday weekend.

Jackie Crozier, Chair of the VBA said; "The first clean up event was a massive success and the perfect start to the journey of rejuvenation for ‘Our Gay Village’. We have laid the best foundations possible and it is so important that we now come together as a community and build upon them to help make Manchester’s Gay Village the best possible version of itself."

The VBA urge everyone who can to come along on the day and be an integral part of this fruitful journey!

11am. August 16. Sackville Gardens. We’ll be there…will you?
