Co-op and The Basement Project join forces to transform residents garden

Bromsgrove Editorial 18th Jun, 2022   0

THE Co-op team and The Basement Project joined forces recently to help a local resident transform her disused, overgrown garden into a family friendly outdoor space her children could enjoy, play safely in and be proud of.

The Basement Project is currently one of Bromsgrove and Catshill Co-op causes from their local community fund.

The charity has been supporting one of its clients through some tough times and after hearing her story, Co-op staff wanted to help.

And together a true team effort was shown as Cothe -op member pioneers and facilities team contacted landscape contractors Glendale who generously donated plants, turf and labour.




Their maintenance contractors Link also jumped at the chance to be involved, supplying fence paint, garden furniture and labour.

Together, and after a lot of garden clearance, weeding, turfing and painting, the 17-strong team created a new space for the client and her children to enjoy .


“What the team has achieved for our client is nothing short of miraculous,” said Kelly Turner, community fundraiser from The Basement Project.

“In a matter of hours, the garden transformed from an overgrown rubbish tip into a beautiful safe place where our client can relax and her children can play safely.

“For so many people to give up their time and for the contractors involved to be so generous has blown us all away.

“To have a safe space for her girls to enjoy is going to be a massive boost for our client and will have

“Such a positive impact on her mental health. We cannot thank CoOp, Glandale and Link enough.”
