Gardening

Trusted Gardening Service.

Our Gardener

Age UK is running a Trusted Gardening Service, aimed at older people.

We have teamed up with a local gardener to bring this service to the community.

The first is our long term volunteer, Melvyn Brant.

In addition to gardening Melvyn has volunteered with us as a Befriender for a number of years and as such has a good understanding of the issues faced by older people who live on their own.

Melvyn can help with basic lawn maintenance, hedge cutting, tidying, and other straightforward garden maintenance jobs.

About the service

• Can connect you with our office if support is needed with other issues.
• Has agreed to work to some shared Age UK Reading Policies including Safeguarding, confidentiality and complaints.
• Charges a flat rate of £25 per hour with a minimum appointment of 1 hour. (£3.00 goes to support Age UK Reading)

To take up this service please call

Melvyn on 07806 918 787 or email melvyn.brant@yahoo.com

PLEASE NOTE, WE DO NOT OFFER THIS SERVICE OUTSIDE THE READING AREA!
