ENVIRONMENTAL organisations are calling for volunteers from across the borough.

A volunteer fair has been organised by the Forest Recycling Project (FRP) and Organic Lea to encourage people to spend some of their free time helping with projects in the area.

The fair will also include representatives from the Waltham Forest Bike Recycling Project, Lea Bridge Conservation Volunteers and the Lee Valley Park volunteering programme Organisers hope the event will showcase the range of environmental opportunities available within Waltham Forest, which include repairing bikes, growing organic food, recycling and conservation work.

The fair will be held at the Hornbeam Centre, Hoe Street, Walthamstow, from 10am to 1pm on Friday (January 22).
