If you’d like to help see the Invitation. Welldressing is solely reliant on volunteers, it can’t happen without you. If you’d like to get involved in any way, lifting and shifting, helping with finances, publicity, or growing flowers please join the list to receive details of how to help out. Contact us via Facebook or message/call 07899 920204. As part of the AGM we will be looking at welldressing finances. If you know a local cause that would benefit from a small donation please email details to fredbaker@me.com.
