SWINDON’S jobseekers can spend some time by volunteering at Pentylands Country Park.
The Highworth beauty spot is home to more than 1,000 trees including 100 saplings planted last year. Voluntary preservation group the Friends of Pentylands Country Park recruits young volunteers who are not in education or employment, aiming to help them do something valuable with their time.
