Volunteers from the Ordnance Survey put down their maps and computer mice for a day and joined our regular volunteers at Netley Marsh workshop to lend a helping hand.

Kathie Dunnings and her five colleagues were kept busy breaking up packing crates to supply wood for more toolkit boxes and cutting back the long grass and weeds around the site. It’s all part of a scheme whereby Ordnance Survey employees get a chance to volunteer for a day for their favourite good cause.

She said “It’s been brilliant fun. I’d like to put Tools for Self Reliance forward as our charity of the year next year.”
