We created this patio for a lovely customer. This was her feedback:

"I am beyond grateful for all of the help that I have received from your amazing scheme. Patti and Pete in particular, have both made a significant impact on my life. I can now traverse my garden safely and with confidence, I can see it becoming my favourite place to be at home. Even my wheelchair is now able to fit through the gate without issue, which going forwards will help me to stay in my home living independently. I’m thoroughly grateful to all of the team members for the help that has been given to me."

Really nice feedback from a customer yesterday and well done to our gardeners who are always so polite and friendly to our customers:

Hello Pete, would just like to say how delighted I am with the transformation of my garden today. Its really amazing what those two youngsters achieved in such a relatively short time too, I was very impressed with their efficiency, they are a credit to your workforce. It was a pleasure to meet such lovely young people. Once again many thanks.👏🙏

Today we did some major tidying of the raised beds at Icewell Hill in Newmarket. We thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Flagship Housing’s gardening team on this job. Here are before and after photos:

Thank you so much, Thetford, for the very generous grant which came from the Government’s Towns Fund. It will enable us to tidy 120 gardens for people who cannot manage their gardens themselves due to difficulties with health, mobility etc. It means so much to us and the customers. ❤️
