A COMMUNITY cemetery group has bought a new lawn mower thanks to a donation.
The donation from Darwen’s Lloyd Trust has helped The Friends of Darwen Cemetery purchase a new lawn mower to support the Groups restoration, preservation and development of the cemetery.
The group work on different sections and welcome relatives and friends to help volunteer in this restoration work.
Working in partnership with Blackburn with Darwen Council the group has spent years renovating graves and features.
The mower will be used by volunteer Anne Lamont who has single handily restored just one section spectacularly. Other groups work on other areas.
Mrs Lamont said: “I just love restoring graves and maintaining the wonderful heritage of Darwen Cemetery.
"The mower Donated by the Lloyd trust will make a real difference to the restoration and I just think it’s fantastic what the group have achieved."
Anyone wishing to volunteer, please via FODC website www.darwencemetry.org.uk
