Library Clear Up - Social Good Connect

As many folk will know, we three amazing neighbours, the Finmil Centre, Fintry Primary School and Fintry Library. The library, of course, closed over the COVID19 pandemic lockdown, and therefore a lot of weeds took hold around its perimeter as well as plenty litter. An act not so natural but more of the human form.

We as a group decided to clear some of this away, as a gesture of goodwill, in preparation for a hopefully reopening of the library. We had actually recently registered the community garden group with the organisation Social Good Connect, which is an online platform connecting businesses to charity volunteering opportunities enabling you to make a positive impact on society.

Lennox, Social Good Connect's Charity Engagement Officer came along and met me and another volunteer who saw the opportunity on the Social Good Connect platform, and we got stuck in, removing all the litter, removing a significant portion of the weeds around the library, particularly at the front.

This was our first time using the Social Good Connect platform and its been great to make another connection and collaboration. We look forward to using the platform more in the future to benefit us as a community garden and to benefit others who volunteer through Social Good connect.
