Hope on the Flowers
This May, churches from around the Flowers Estate are working together to share the hope we have with our neighbourhood. We will be out and about offering help with gardening, repairing fences, clearing litter and cleaning graffiti - amongst other things!
We also hope to meet many people in the area and will be going round letting people know more about what we are doing and why we are running 'Hope on the Flowers'. There will be a short survey of beliefs conducted as part of this.
During the first two weeks in May there are also several events being run. All events are free, unless otherwise stated.
You can view a flyer here.
