• Our offices will be closed for the Easter weekend from 5pm on Thursday 28th March until we reopen at 8am on Tuesday 2nd April. You will still be able to get in touch through 'My Account' or our emergency out of hours service. We hope you have a lovely Easter!

Recently, we held our Gardening Competition among our Community Living Schemes to see which has the best and most improved garden, and the competition got heated! All 11 schemes did extremely well and have produced some lovely gardens. This was a great opportunity to get outdoors, work collaboratively, and make some beautiful outside spaces.

Here are some of our wonderful entries:

The gardening groups have helped our residents to get out throughout the lockdowns and has really helped their wellbeing.

Thank you to all our judges, including Andy, Matt and Massey from Achieve Training, the Mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and our Community Connector Sharon Battiste – all of their gardens look amazing, and was a hard task to choose the winner.
