The more people that turn up, the easier the job is for everyone. We pass through our village on a daily basis, between work, school runs, walking, running, etc! Let’s now show Kilflynn some TLC by coming out and cleaning it up.
As always KCT greatly appreciates your support. We will be providing bags, some gloves, and some pickers.
