Fifty-five awesome volunteers turned out to make our first visit to historic cemetery Bunhill Fields a successful and fun day.
Bunhill Fields is one of the most celebrated nonconformist burial grounds England, and provides an oasis of calm in one of the busiest parts of London. The park site houses the graves of some of London's most famous historical residents including the author of Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe - and artist/poet/visionary William Blake.
The park is generally well maintained, but the railings were in desperate need of a good lick of paint as they have not been painted since the 1960s. The 55 volunteers managed to sand down over 100 metres of railings. They then added rust primer before an undercoat AND a top coat. They worked incredibly hard to get the work done, painting fences that had not been touched up for over 30 years!
Thanks to everyone who volunteered and we look forward to seeing you at the Royal Albert Hall on September 25!
