helping hands: Volunteers, from left, Shirley Buckley, Rachel Fletcher and Martin Cook take part in the clean up of Moses Gate Country Park organised by members of the Church of Jesus Christ for the Latter-day Saints
VOLUNTEERS helped clean up a park as part of international helping hands day.
Despite the rain, 180 people from the Church of Jesus Christ for the Latter-day Saints in Greater Manchester went to Moses Gate Country Park on Saturday to pull out weeds.
The Mayor, Cllr Barbara Ronson, and her consort Cllr Bob Ronson, also lent a hand.
Volunteer Shirley Buckley, aged 57, from Bank Top, Bolton, said: "There were events all over the country, doing work in the community to help make a difference.
"It was an excellent turn out considering the wet weather but people got into the spirit of things and enjoyed themselves."
