Community garden day brings residents together at Harold Sims House

Following some disruption caused by the installation of new piping throughout the building, Eastlight colleagues were keen to give something back to residents at Harold Sims House, a Housing for Older People Scheme in Earls Colne.

Equipped with materials for a full refresh of the communal outdoor space, everyone worked side-by-side to give the garden a much-needed new lease of life by rolling up their sleeves to paint, plant, clear, and refresh.

Together, they created a brighter, more welcoming garden that residents can enjoy all year round. In fact, residents are already planning to spend more time outdoors, with social gatherings and get-togethers on the horizon… we hope our invite is in the post!

What a fantastic example of community spirit in action by turning a challenging period into a positive outcome. It’s wonderful to see residents working together with us to create a space that everyone can be proud of.

Huge credit to everyone who got involved. The transformation looks fantastic and we love to see teamwork in full bloom.
