☀️🌸 What a wonderful afternoon! Our Garden Party was one to remember! 🌸☀️
Sunshine, laughter, good company and a wonderful sense of community made this year’s Garden Party a real success. It was lovely to see residents, friends and guests enjoying the afternoon together.
We were especially pleased to welcome Councillor Sam McNaught Barrow, Mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon 2026/27, and Manuela Perteghella MP, who joined us in celebrating the occasion.
💙 Giving back to our local community
Our photograph shows two special presentations from our Relief in Need Charity:
🎁 £3,000 to Welcome Here, presented to Cathy Lloyd, together with a slow cooker and microwave to support their work with refugees.
🎁 £2,000 to Warwickshire Reminiscence Action Project, presented to Clare Hassall in recognition of their valuable work in our community.
🎟️ A huge thank you to everyone who donated raffle prizes, with a special mention to Stephen Start from Banner Lane, who donated an amazing voucher for a gliding flight at Bidford Aerodrome. ✈️ We’re looking forward to hearing all about the winner’s adventure!
And finally, a very special thank you to Jess, Kevin and Nigel for all their hard work behind the scenes in making the Garden Party such a happy and enjoyable occasion. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who came along, supported us and helped create such a lovely afternoon.
Roll on next year! 🌷☀️
