“In our café we have an indoor children’s play area that had become tired. The staff have completely revamped and decorated it making it a fun place for the children to play in.

“We also had a boat outside looking sad with old plants in it. It was to be painted though sadly the rain prevented this. ALC have re-planted it with new soil and sturdy plants.

“Clive has designed a large display panel and a small group cared for the horses.”
