Bringing Outdoor Spaces to Life! 

This month, our garden received a fantastic makeover thanks to a team of volunteers from B&Q. After submitting applications for community projects, Contact was chosen as one of the lucky recipients. The volunteers spent the day removing and replacing old fence panels, and generously donated new fencing, benches, pots and plants - transforming our outdoor spaces into bright, welcoming areas.

For our residents, the changes are already making a difference. One young woman commented on how nice it is to have somewhere quiet to sit and enjoy a moment of peace, these small moments of calm and connection with nature can have a huge impact on wellbeing, especially for young women who have faced uncertainty and disruption in their lives.

Thanks to B&Q’s support, our gardens are now brighter and more full of life - spaces where residents can relax, reflect and truly feel at home. It’s a reminder that even simple outdoor spaces can make a big difference.
