We are visiting the Lighthouse Project in Byker. They need help maintaining their gardens and the areas surrounding their building. There are some pathways in a small woodland area that need weeding and bark placed. Some overgrown shrubbery needs cutting back and all the paths need to be swept with debris bagged.
The running or cycling distance will be about 1.25 miles each way. There will also be a walking group available walking the direct route, which is 0.9 miles or 1.45km each way.

Come and help with some general clearance, as well as removing some weeds and grass. We have already cleared a plot for one plot holder who was unable to do this herself and so it will be great to be back and supporting to restore this great community space.
Please bring your own gardening gloves if you have them, all other tools will be provided. This will be quite a physically challenging task. Please feel free to stay for any length of time, or arrive after the task has started (get in touch if doing that).
No facilities on site, nearest toilets are at Morrisons Cowgate. Free on street parking is available at the task.
The what3words location is ///ruby.modern.added . The allotments aren’t visible from the street, but are hidden behind a big gate, on the left hand side of the road as you head down Greenhill View from Ponteland Road.
