Volunteering

CCHA’s Charity and Volunteering Committee have been busy over the last few months.

Transforming outdoor spaces

The outdoor spaces at our Independent Living schemes at Brownsea Place (Gateshead) and Dickinson Court (Whitehaven) were transformed for residents by a team of 24 staff volunteers, with the support of our partners Bell Group. Gardens were given a makeover, and other areas cleared and painted.

A relative of one of our Brownsea Place residents sent us this wonderful feedback:

“I must say a massive well done to everyone who was there today helping do the gardens and the patio area. Everyone worked non-stop and have transformed the whole look of the area and made it a lovely place to sit.

“Not only has very single person there worked their socks off; they were friendly and chatty to any resident they spoke to and deserve recognition for all their hard work and dedication today.
