Work will begin this week on replacing the perimeter wall and powder coating the wrought iron. This has been privately funded and no money has come from R&CBC. We are very grateful to ENOVERT Community Trust for their support and grant and also to TEES Foundation for their support and grant funding. Their support has enabled the Trustees to further enhance the garden for the use of the community.

To continue with the improvements to The Remembrance Garden the trustees will be fund raising to replace the perimeter wall which is in poor condition. Attempts are being made to secure grant funding as it is a major project, but public donations would be more than welcome.
