Volunteering
KIB came into being in 2007 and since then has grown a strong team of volunteers, ready to work all year round. Would you like to join in and be one of the boys and girls in blue?!
The Gold-winning team includes several experienced gardeners, but what we really need are people ready to turn a hand to anything - from planning events for fund-raising to delivering posters, making tea and tidying up their own patch, and of course weeding and watering - so there are opportunities for everyone.
The committee meets monthly and volunteers are aways welcome to come along to share ideas and decisions. This way the campaign can stay fresh and lively. So what's stopping you?
Call Graham Price on 01548 854488 if you feel you can help in any way.
Funding
Award-winning campaigns require funds to build on success.
We need money for materials and for projects that we run centrally, or to support projects which are part of our campaign, but are undertaken by other groups which do not have their own funding. Kingsbridge in Bloom continues to raise funds from a variety of sources:
If you as an individual, member of a group, or business would like to sponsor a project as part of Kingsbridge in Bloom, then please contact us.
