Helping out the Project

Paul, Gordon, support worker Cathy and some of the residents.

The Arlington Project provides residential accommodation and care for six adults with learning disabilities. Based in two adjacent houses on Arlington Square, it is at the heart of our community.

The Project’s garden before

Under the guidance of Paul Thompson and Gordon McArthur, your Association is working with the residents and staff to turn their neglected garden into a beautiful spot for them all to enjoy.

The Project’s garden after

The flowerbeds have been enlarged, enriched and planted with bulbs and shrubs, and there’s a new gravel path. An overgrown gazebo has been renovated and planted with climbing roses and a grapevine.

Sadly Peter Carter, a Project resident and keen gardener who had joined one of our gardening Saturdays in the square, died in July after a short illness. We shall miss his cheerful smile. We plan to plant a small tree in the Arlington Project garden in his memory.
