Keen to do their own bit for the great charities Orange RockCorps supports, a crack volunteer team from Orange visited the Stepping Stones Farm in East London, turned off their mobile phones, rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in.
Stepping Stones is a community based (and entirely volunteer run) City Farm and Rural Crafts Centre in the heart of Stepney, in London’s East End. For nearly 30 years the farm has been dedicated to providing the people of London with a chance to experience a taste of rural life first hand.
The group from Orange renovated an area called The Fairy Garden, turning part of it into an area for growing mushrooms and the rest into a sensory kitchen garden. They also built some growing boxes to be used as part of the Young Growers/Community Garden project for local residents
Anna Maguire, Senior Partnerships Manager at Orange, said of the day: “We had an awesome time down out Stepping Stones - I think it was my favourite project yet! It's really important to us that everyone who comes to the gig does their 4 hours, just like everybody else, cause that’s what Orange RockCorps is all about.”
Thanks to all the Orange volunteers for doing their bit!
