A CHILDREN'S sensory garden has been given a new lease of life with the help of volunteers.

Nine team members from Barratt Bristol, currently working on the Winnycroft development in Gloucestershire, spent a day at the James Hopkins Trust to help maintain the garden, which supports children under six with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Laura Brooker, fundraiser at Kites Corner, said: "It was a pleasure to have two teams from Barratt Homes join us at Kite’s Corner for two days to help maintain our sensory garden.

"The garden is looking lovely and it is great to know that our children can enjoy being outside and playing safely."

The volunteers cleaned outdoor play equipment, de-weeded, cut the grass and jet washed the patio area.

Richard Lawson, sales director at Barratt Bristol, said: "Kites Corner plays a truly vital role within the Gloucestershire community, providing invaluable care and support to children and their families."
