New Snow Angels Project!
❗️New Project Alert ❗️
DUSVO are partnering with Durham County Council to bring you a brand new project.
Snow and ice can be dangerous for everyone, our new project Snow Angels make walkways, paths and drives safer for elderly and vulnerable residents within Durham, as well as creating a safer environment for those working throughout adverse weather conditions-like firemen, police or post workers.
If you are a Durham student living near areas where there are elderly and more vulnerable residents, this project will be perfect for you!
For more information or to sign up email katie.binks@durham.ac.uk.
