After a quick tour of the space and hearing about all the wonderful plans for the space, we were kindly treated to coffee and croissants - thank you very much!

It was a sunny morning spent clearing an area of the church garden that will eventually become a sensory space, there were plenty of tough roots that needed quite a bit of digging and also some pesky sycamores that had self seeded around a rose bush. The rose bush looked much happier, if a bit smaller, by the time we were ready to leave. And the entire space we had been working on nearly weed free.

We have a community mission coming up that is painting the church hall and keep an eye out for some future group runs to this amazing space.
