The project is focussed on the regeneration and conservation of the natural environment, which had been neglected for many years and consequently avoided by locals and passersby. The Project aims to provide a safe space and opportunities for all members of the local community and visitors to learn about, or to simply enjoy and to value this historic and scenic location. We especially look to provide opportunities for people of less privileged circumstances, and seek to enthuse and engage the younger community who will inherit this space. The ultimate goal of our founder was for a floating café, providing additional work opportunities as well as a year-round amenity for locals and visitors and the adjacent business community. General Volunteering: The Project offers many opportunities to get involved, whether as an individual on our regular weekday sessions, or on company working days where we take advantage of larger teams to assist in delivering certain projects that we may not have time to complete ourselves. During Summer months, we may additionally offer some Saturday sessions for those who cannot make weekdays. Environment: The Project recently commissioned an ecological study from Surrey Wildlife Trust to inform our longer-term plans about the maintenance of vital habitat for animal and plant life. We want to integrate this with other like-minded organisations so that a sustainable and diverse environment is maintained along the river frontage.
