The Walton Lea Partnership does incredible work in the community, supporting vulnerable adults and young people with learning disabilities by providing a variety of activities and opportunities.
Much of the learning, development and supported work activity is centred around horticulture from its base at Higher Walton in Warrington.
A formidable four of Jenny Dockney, Jack Brister, Lynne Kennedy-White and Danielle Grimshaw, were joined by other Wain Group colleagues and helped out around the gardens, weeding, clearing leaves, de-mossing footpaths and planting and potting.
Jack Brister, Wain Estates managing director of development, said: “We were only too pleased to be able to spend a day helping our neighbours and finding out more about the partnership’s extensive programme.”
The Charity aims to empower learning disabled and vulnerable adults with hands on practical experiences to help them lead active and independent lives to their full potential. It supports learning new skills through eight social enterprises including furniture upcycling, woodwork and media as well as horticulture.
Donna Sleet, communications & community fundraiser at Walton Lea Partnership, said: “The Wain Estates team were brilliant and did a fantastic job at the back of the garden. They looked like they enjoyed themselves and interacted with our amazing learners.
“We hope they enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed theirs.”
