New volunteer events for 2008
See our how to get involved page for details of upcoming volunteer events along the Arcadian Thames in 2008. With a wide variety of volunteer events taking place both during the week and at weekends throughout the London's Arcadia area there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
London's Arcadia depends on the generosity of volunteers in giving their time and expertise to improving their local environments. In the past year over 8,000 volunteer hours were recorded, which provided over £90,000 of much needed match funding for the HLF grant. A huge thanks to all volunteers who have given and continue to give their time so generously to London's Arcadia.
With so much happening in London's Arcadia do watch this space for more information and for details of upcoming volunteer events or consultations.
