Team Stamford supports guide groups with garden and patio project

Volunteers from the Team Stamford community group have completed their latest mission.

The team offered to lay a new patio at the Guide Hall in Conduit Road.

Having become overgrown during a year of lockdowns, the area will now provide more outdoor space for activities when groups return to face-to-face meetings in September.

Volunteer Neil McIvor said: "The Guides approached me for a quote to do the patio area, but I decided it was more a Team Stamford mission so we set about a plan to lay the patio and help tidy up the outside area at the hall.

"It was great fun, great teamwork and a great job."

Neil was joined by fellow Team Stamford volunteers and representatives from Girlguiding for the project on Saturday. As well as laying the patio, they pulled up overgrown weeds and bushes.

Welland division commissioner Karen Armstrong said: "Thank you to everyone who helped out. "It will be a great space for our Guiding units and hirers of the hall to use."

Some groups continued to meet online during the coronavirus lockdowns, but have now started to meet face-to-face outdoors. Indoor meetings are likely to resume in the autumn term, with opportunities available for people to get involved as a leader.
