With May finally here, we look forward to longer evenings and sunnier days (and not forgetting two bank holidays).
It's also the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy something new.
Fenland's Street Pride groups have a wealth of volunteer events planned throughout the month - so why not give one a try?

About Street Pride
Street Pride is a long-running and well-loved community initiative set up and supported by Fenland District Council to help volunteers make a difference to their local environment.
There are currently 17 Street Pride groups across the district - many of which have been running for more than a decade. Many groups also work with local schools and businesses who share a passion for cleaner, greener and more vibrant communities.
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to get involved, whether you're a seasoned environmentalist or looking to try something new.
It offers a fulfilling way to give something back to the community while keeping active, enjoying the great outdoors and meeting like-minded individuals.
For more information visit our Street Pride webpage or contact our Street Pride co-ordinator, Rebecca Robinett, on streetpride@fenland.gov.uk
