Community based projects at our extra care homes

Woodwork Workshop - New Addington

Feedback from residents at our extra care and sheltered homes, highlighted the need to improve accessibility of the outside spaces, by creating tall reachable planters.

This was achieved with a combined service of the Youth Justice Service, Axis Europe and a community payback team. The community payback team give back to the community by doing something meaningful for their offences.

Axis Europe sponsored the tools and materials.

We hope this will lead to other opportunities that will benefit our residents in the community. Together we hope to improve their environment, encourage people to use and enjoy the outside spaces and engage in conversation with people undertaking the work or other volunteering days and share their story which everyone has.
