Here at Swords Tidy Towns our fund raising activities have been severely curbed due to the Covid virus, any donations that can be made by local business and Swords residents would be very welcome. During these uncertain times Swords Tidy Towns have carried on at a limited pace, increasing our workload as we passed each of the four phases.We issued our members with protective face visors and instruction on the importance of social distance and frequent hand washing. In the first few weeks of the Covid 19 crisis during the lockdown none of us ventured out, we kept in constant communication through our Whatsapp group. We shared pictures of each other’s home projects when completed, jobs on our never having the time to get round too to do lists. Our group also started a Zoom fortnightly Quiz Night held on a Sunday night, members taking turn at hosting the event, it is always a great two hours of catch up and fun.We as a group have slowly come to terms with the new normal, constantly aware of our health and safety responsibilities to each other as we go about the work of keeping Swords looking her best.Swords Tidy Towns are always on the lookout for new members, we would encourage people with particular skill sets, woodworking, building, IT etc to contact us, their skills would be invaluable to our planned future projects.
