Everyone Welcome to come and join us
The Great Sunflower Giveaway​
Sunday 6th April 10 till12 noon.
​We will be giving away planting packs of Sunflower seeds once again for families in Stanley to grow at home and make the village look beautiful. We have been doing this since Covid years and it always proves popular with the children, many of whom follow through by entering their flower head in the village Flower Show in August. Find us at the Community Orchard on Mount Road.
-
We would love it if as many people as possible joined in and grew sunflowers at the front of their property to flood Stanley with SUNFLOWERS.
-
Sunflowers are often used as a symbol of Positivity and Joy.
-
Families will be able to collect a pack from the Community Orchard on Mount Road on 6th April between 10 and 12 noon.
Community Litter Picks​
Stanley Resident’s Group organise community Litter Picks at various times in the year and publish dates here on the website and on our Facebook page, along with our banner and on the noticeboard in the centre of the village. We take pride in trying to keep Stanley free from litter and a lovely place to live.​​​
-
​A different area of Stanley is the focus each time and we encourage as many of the community as possible to help us. Families are welcome.
-
Equipment is provided to use on the day, but we advise sturdy footwear and suitable clothing for the weather conditions. Personal Litter Hero kits are available FREE of charge from Wakefield Council.
