Young volunteers are wanted to clean up a Barnet estate as part of an annual initiative to improve the community and its surroundings.

Noise Event 2008 will see volunteers remove graffiti, pick up litter, tidy overgrown communal areas, and plant shrubs and trees on the North Road Estate this weekend.

Organisers, including Barnet Homes, Burnt Oak Christian Fellowship and Burnt Oak Safer Neighbourhood Team, are looking for people aged between 16 and 25 to take part.

A free £10 HMV or mobile top-up voucher will got to the first 20 volunteers who sign up.

Noise Event coordinator Amanda Ottaviani said: "The point of the Noise Event is to get the community involved in helping themselves. We specifically want to try and persuade the youth around the estate to help those around them that aren't so fortunate.

"The Noise Event 2007 was a big success, with a turn out of around 35 volunteers over the whole weekend.

"It was amazing and left an imprint on the people who live here as they witnessed people from outside and inside the area make an effort to change their community."

There will also be a Fun Day complete with facepainting, jumble sale, bouncy castle, cake stall, book stall, toy stall and free BBQ from 12pm to 5pm on Monday, May 5, open to anyone.
