Every work party we meet at 10.30am on the green at Peakdale Road and the main entrance at Greenside Lane. Everyone is given litter picking equipment and we advise that volunteers wear sturdy footwear.
Formed in 2011, the group has been running for 15 years. Dedicated to helping the green land of Sunny Bank Vale, the group have transformed the former landfill sight into a thriving, biodiverse and rich ecosystem. With many paths to walk on and lots of different areas to explore, Sunny Bank Vale is a wonderful place for dog walkers, runners and anyone wanting to take a stroll in nature.
“Well done for continuing to run such a valuable and well used community asset. Friends of Sunny Bank Vale truly are local heroes.”
MP Angela Rayner
