Ellie and Maya look relaxed as they are sitting on a low chair on the patio of the garden. Behind them are freshly painted flower beds in yellow and pink. From the brown fence, there are plant pots and sensory items hanging. Ellie and Maya are both young women and wear summery dresses.
A collage of photos showcasing a vibrant garden transformation at Warden Road. The images include colorful hanging flower pots on a wooden fence, raised flower beds painted in pastel colors, and festive bunting and string lights decorating the space. One photo shows a group of people smiling and posing together, another shows individuals enjoying an outdoor gathering with food and drinks. There is a woman proudly holding a framed piece of artwork at a decorated table, and a group of three people smiling beside garden furniture. The garden has bright seating, cheerful decorations, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Congratulations to our team at Warden Road, who have transformed the garden for the people who live there. π‘π«
They have turned the garden into a beautiful space for the woman there. πΈ
Ellie, Maya and Catherine have already started to enjoy it, with a party and BBQ to celebrate.

1/2 π£ The Governmentβs proposed changes to benefits risks grouping learning disability and learning difficulties together, but they are not the same.
Treating these two as the same could mean people with a learning disability miss out on the personalised support they need to live independently.

A child is in the arms of a woman who is looking at him intently. She is
his mum or a carer. The child is around 5 years old and is wearing a t shirt with pictures of red London busses on it. He has dark brown eyes and is looking straight at the camera.
We're delighted that from 1 April we will be running the Islington SENDIASS service.
We'll be there to offer free impartial, information, advice and support on Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) for children, young people, parents and carers in Islington.
