Evening everybody 👋
Our Autism Angels have had a busy week, with a big focus on the Mandale Road planter, working alongside Jackie and the team at Ayresome Ward to get it ready for its next stage! 🌿
Our Angels got stuck into some seriously tough work, clearing the w**ds and removing around a tonne of soil to make room for the new w**d membrane and bark. It was no easy job, and we reckon our Angels deserve a medal for their efforts! 🏅
With the membrane now down and 2.5 tonnes of bark added by the Ayresome Ward team, the planter is being prepared for the next stage. Next spring, it will be filled with lavender and other suitable, low-maintenance perennial plants, giving the area a lovely new look for the community to enjoy. We are so proud that our Angels are able to contribute to our local area in this way! 🌱
Alongside this big project, our Angels have continued helping clients in their gardens and keeping busy in the workshop, where preparations for Christmas are well underway! There's plenty to be getting on with, and we can't wait to share more of what they've been creating 🪚
A massive well done to all our Angels for the hard work they've put in this week, and a big thank you to Independent Cllr Jackie Young for Ayresome Ward and your team for working alongside us on this community project! 💙
