What is Backyard Blitz?
Backyard Blitz is an opportunity for us to Love This City.
LTC receives referrals for people who may need a helping hand getting their garden or lawns under control.
They usually occur on a Saturday morning with everyone meeting up at the address (which will be given to you prior to the day) at an allocated time. An estimate of timing would be 8am-12pm.
After you arrive on the morning of the Blitz, you will do a walk-through of the site with everyone to get an idea of what jobs need to be done, and then you will be able to put your hand up for a task or someone on site can delegate a task to you.
Anyone on site will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have or give you a helping hand! There will also be someone with a First Aid kit and incident report forms as well.
You are welcome to take a break, drink some water, eat a snack or have a rest whenever you want. If a task feels too difficult or you don't feel comfortable doing it, please let someone on site know and swap out for a task that feels more suitable for you. Usually everyone will take a short break together about halfway through.
We want everyone to have an enjoyable morning whilst loving on our neighbours and showing we are FOR them.
Please remember to drink plenty of water during the morning and stay hydrated.
Also be reminded you can only use tools and machinery that you bring yourself and are competant to use. If you bring tools and machinery, please also bring the appropriate protective equipment.
Please bring / wear:
Water
Gloves
Closed-in shoes
Personal protective wear if you are using equipment
Sun-smart gear (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
FOR the Gold Coast or Love This City shirt (if you have one)
Thank you for your heart and willingness to be a part of the Backyard Blitz team!
