Meet Your Ongar Neighbour: Volunteer Spotlight on Mary

 

Meet Your Ongar Neighbour: Volunteer Spotlight on Mary

Behind every tidy street and blooming planter in Ongar, there’s a volunteer like Mary  A community stalwart, Mary joined Ongar Tidy Towns in 2005 and has been leading the charge ever since.

Whether she’s planting daffodils on Main Street or coordinating a Saturday clean-up, Mary does it with a smile. “I love where I live,” she says. “If we don’t look after it, who will?”

Mary also helps run our “Neighbour to Neighbour” initiative—connecting residents who need help maintaining their gardens or disposing of green waste. Her favourite part? “Seeing people stop to say thanks or picking up litter without being asked. That’s real community.”

Volunteers like Mary remind us that we don’t need big budgets or grand gestures—just people willing to lend a hand.

Want to meet others like Mary? Join us for our next community event or clean-up day.

💚 Because when one person cares, it starts a chain reaction.
