Earlier this year, we had some great plans and ideas for our fantastic outdoor space here at the Centre.
Our accessible outdoor space gives our members, volunteers, and staff a beautiful environment to relax in or take a well-earned break.
As with all these projects we could not have done it without the help of our fantastic Corporate Supporters and Brightwell Volunteers.
Firstly, Woodstock Homes who consistently support The Brightwell, organised, and paid for some extra parking spaces. Although not glamorous, this was an essential project for us to gain a few much-needed spaces as well as somewhere practical to keep our industrial bins! This area was then landscaped thanks to the volunteers from Zurich, along with some lovely plants they donated to go in the rest of the garden.
The plans then continued as Spring became Summer and plans for a new shed was launched.
Howards Motor Group, who were one of the first members to join the Brightwell 100 Network, gave us a very generous donation to pay for a new shed, more oxygen equipment and the budget even stretched to buying some additional gardening storage items.
Initially, the area for the new shed was cleared by a very productive team from Lloyds Banking Group, who also helped us clear unwanted items from the storage container.
Further help came from one of our members, Andrew Hudson, who along with some of his colleagues worked exceptionally hard laying foundations for the new shed, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year! They did a great job and CRS Building Supplies kindly provided the materials!
The other side of the building has not been forgotten and we are delighted to have two new water features offering the calming sound of running water on our terrace. These were funded by another corporate donor, LV, and add to the charm of the outdoor space.
We would like to extend an invitation to our Centre Users to enjoy our outdoor space even as the summer comes to a close. We have a dedicated team of volunteers who help look after the gardens and are so grateful for all the care and attention they take in helping the grounds look lovely whatever the season.
A big thank you to our Corporate sponsors and Volunteers for helping us create, enhance, and maintain the beautiful grounds at The Brightwell!
