Next Friday, between 10am and 12pm (subject to dry weather), we will be in Kempston at St. John’s Play Area between Buttermere Close and St. John’s Street, to finish off painting the park fence and brightening up the area.

After a couple of sessions it’s starting to come together and as you can see from the photos it’s making a huge difference, but we really need your help to get this project completed.

If you are available please use the button below to email us and let us know you be there. We can then keep you updated if plans have to change due to bad weather.

Rivercare Clean Up and Community Litter Pick

Saturday 7 October

We’re inviting volunteers to help us to litter pick the riverside between 10am and 12pm on Saturday 7 October. There’ll also be scuba divers in the river and kayakers joining us to clear the banks.

The John Bunyan Boat will be providing refreshments onboard so it’s going to be an event bursting with community pride.

We’ll supply all the equipment so just wear suitable clothing and sturdy boots. Meet us at the back of Borough Hall, Cauldwell Street, Bedford, MK42 9AP, find us by the river.

There’s free parking available on site for anyone taking part.
