A huge thanks to the team from Gateway Church who spent their Saturday afternoon tackling a big garden and 8ft hedge for a local family. They did an absolutely amazing job, and the recipient was chuffed. Thank you for giving your time so generously!

Referrer feedback 🥰
I’ve just spoken with M about the decorating and gardening work carried out yesterday.
She is absolutely delighted with everything that has been done, speaking of you all being amazing people. M said she hardly recognises her lounge now and is incredibly grateful to everyone who helped – she loves it! She is also thrilled with the garden and can’t believe how much was achieved, and taken away.
Thank you all so much. I am incredibly grateful for all your hard work, kindness, and willingness to serve in this way.
Please pass on my sincere thanks to everyone who helped make such a difference for M and the children.
Thank you to Besom, for letting us carry out through you, using your insurance, expertise and equipment, I am really grateful. 🩵
