Join the Oakham in Bloom Committee
Joining the Oakham in Bloom committee is a great way to make a meaningful impact on our community.
We have specific roles available, such as fundraising, press, minutes secretary, and more, but if you'd prefer a more flexible involvement, you can also join as a general member without a specific title.
We welcome all ideas and perspectives, and you'll find us to be a friendly group who enjoy working together to keep Oakham beautiful. We meet once a month, and it's a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals while contributing to a cause that benefits everyone in our town.
