If you're handy with a set of tools and love British wildlife, then RSPCA Oak and Furrows wants to hear from you!

The Cricklade-based wildlife rescue centre is holding a Maintenance Day and anyone who is able to help is invited to attend. 

The event will be held on October 1 between 10am and 3pm at the charitable organisation's Blakehill Nature Reserve location. 

A spokesperson for Oak and Furrows said: "Are you a dab hand with a paintbrush? Are you a carpenter or joiner who knows their stuff? Are your DIY skills worthy of a slot on DIY SOS or like most of us, can you just about get by with a hammer and nails?

"Whatever your skill level, we would love your help!"

Any volunteers would need to bring their own kit with them, but the centre staff will be offering tea and biscuits throughout the day. 

"We welcome everyone who can help us to get ready for Autumn and Winter to join us in making everything spic and span," the spokesperson added. 

Anyone who is willing to help out should let Oak and Furrows know by contacting wildliferescue@rspcaoandf.org.uk.
