A GG volunteer joined Andy and the Friends of Stephens House & Gardens to assist with the installation of a new accessible bench located between the raised gardens and the main lawn area.

The task involved carefully lifting, moving, and positioning a heavy bench into its designated location. Due to the weight of the bench, volunteers worked together to ensure the move was completed safely and efficiently. Appropriate care was taken throughout the process, with volunteers wearing suitable footwear and using safe lifting techniques.

The installation was completed successfully within a short period of time. The new bench will provide improved accessibility, comfort, and seating opportunities for visitors to Stephens House & Gardens, particularly for those who may benefit from accessible resting spaces within the gardens.

The activity demonstrated positive teamwork and community spirit while supporting the ongoing improvements made by the Friends group to maintain and enhance this valued local green space.
