VOLUNTEERS helped bring a garden back to life for an elderly man who could no longer take care of it himself.
As part of celebrations of Volunteer’s Week, Unity Volunteering ran a Big Garden Spruce Up event on June 28 to bring a garden back to its former glory.
The help-out day, supported by Tesco and Simplyhealth, left the man “delighted” with the outcome.
He was chosen after his name had been put forward by one of the Cardea Home Support team who also pitched in and helped out on the day.
Christianne Ireland, Unity’s Volunteer Centre Manager said “Thanks must go to Frank for providing plenty of cups of tea, also to Tesco who kindly sponsored the event and to the volunteers who gave their time up and worked so very hard in the hot sun to make the garden look lovely.
“It has been a roaring success and we will certainly consider doing something similar in the future”.
