The report provides background on a proposed
community engagement scheme focussing on Leeds City Council
cemeteries and crematoria. The report highlights the need for the
scheme to be delivered and why it is necessary to recruit two
additional members of staff to deliver it.
Recruiting two rangers to increase the current ranger resource
would enable them to provide more support for the cemeteries and
crematoria volunteer groups that are already established, help new
groups get set up, and increase volunteering at the sites overall
(through better publicity, corporate volunteering days etc.).
The outcome of more volunteer time being spent on cemeteries and
crematoria will be improvements to these sites, since they would be
better maintained (and possibly benefit from funds raised by the
groups). Visitors should have a better experience and this has been
proven to work following the establishment of ‘Friends’
groups at locations such as Lawnswood Cemetery and Woodhouse
Ridge.
