Moat spruces up sheltered housing garden

Member’s of Moat’s finance team went to Lambourne Court, a Moat sheltered scheme in Streatham, London, on Monday 1 March, to tidy up the communal garden area. They weeded the borders and planted some bulbs which will blossom and brighten up the garden within the next few months of spring.

The event was organised as part of Moat’s commitment for staff to become more involved in Moat communities and to increase knowledge of all areas of the organisation. The finance team worked hard to tidy up the garden and undertake the work which the older residents are not always able to complete.

Andrew Cliff, Moat’s interim group financial account, says; “Today gave us a chance to see the immediate effects a little hard work can have for some of our more vulnerable residents. Indirectly, we all regularly contribute towards supporting Moat communities but it has been great to get out of the office and do something different!”
