LOCAL charity Wildlife Friendly Otley are holding a spring social event on Saturday, April 27 at the Bridge Church Hall at 3pm.

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone interested to hear about their plans for this year. The event will combine a fascinating talk with refreshments along with a chance to chat with their trustees and other members. You would be able to see exactly what areas they work in and what opportunities there are for working with them as a volunteer.

Founder member of the charity River Six said: "We want to engage with as many people as possible so that they can see the work that we do and how vital it is for the wildlife of this beautiful town. By giving opportunities for people to meet us in person and ask questions directly, in an informal setting, we hope to increase our profile and presence."

The event is free to attend and open to all ages.
