Everyone at Orchard Care Home was deeply upset to hear about the recent vandalism of the community garden. This wonderful space is invaluable to both our residents and the local area. We are incredibly grateful to the volunteers who give up their time and work tirelessly to maintain this inclusive, safe environment for everyone. Please accept this small donation from your friends at Orchard Care Home to help with the recovery. If there is anything else we can do to support your efforts, please do not hesitate to reach out
