Following on from the Legacy Project launch event that some of you came too but some of you couldn't, I would like to let you all know about a big project currently under way called The Compound Project that is taking place in Worthing that needs your help!  Its a highly exciting project that when finished is going to have a huge benefit on the local community. 

Some of you have expressed huge interest in this brilliant project .  Please take a look at this informative video which has been put together by the youths involved in the project - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mRky08faPc&feature=youtu.be
 
On Saturday 30th August between 12pm - 4pm the Compound Project have organised a clearance and picnic afternoon and you, your friends, family and colleagues are all invited and the more volunteers we have on the day the more then we are going to be able to get done! 
 
We need people to arrive on site for 12pm where we are going to need help with various tasks including:
 
•    Digging around the compound to make a nice flower bed and then potentially putting flowers in the bed if we have some by then
•    Clearing the ramp of bramble and cutting the hedges back for easy access to the beach and for disabled visitors to get in
•    Dismantling the beach hut
•    Finding a suitable boat for potting flowers
•    Breaking up concrete bunkers into smaller pieces so they can be moved (suitable tools for this needed)
•    Cutting down some sheets of metal and an old railway carriage (angle grinder will be needed)
•    Clearing a space to put decking

Tools & resources we need help with:
 
•    Garden tools such as spades/forks and anything else you think may be helpful for the above tasks
•    Gardening gloves (If everyone could bring their own that would be helpful)
•    Rubbish bags will be provided by Shirley the organiser
•    Portaloo will be provided by Shirley the organiser
•    Angle grinder or something similar to cut through the metal work
•    Sledge hammer to break up the concrete
•    A Skip to put all the rubbish in
•    Anything else that you think may be useful on the day
If you can help with anything on the Tool and Resource list please email me so I can keep track of who is bringing what and so I can make sure we do not double up on anything.  We need some strong volunteers to help break up the concrete and cut the metal down so if you know anyone please get them on board.
 
We would like to get as much done from the list as possible but even if we can only tick a couple of things off we will be happy! Once we are done then we can all sit down and have a picnic together to celebrate our achievements for the afternoon! Water will be provided but everyone will need to bring their own picnic.
 
This is a really exciting community project to get involved with so if you would like to get involved please email me with names of the people coming along and if you can bring any resources with you from the list. Don't worry if you can't as I'm sure between us all we can cover it.
 
Once you have emailed me expressing your interest I will email you with directions and a map to the compound.
 
If you have any questions please get in touch.
 
Best Wishes 
 
Sarah
