Christian Drewitt: How accessible is Gloucestershire?

How accessible is Gloucestershire?

Christian Drewitt (pictured) has been travelling the length and breadth of the county to assess restaurants, attractions, museums, sport and music venues, to see how accessible they really are for people with disabilities.

Christian has kept a log of all of the places he has visited, to help others find out how easy a visit would be, including an accessibility rating.

You can see all of Christian’s findings by visiting his website: https://christiandrewitt.wordpress.com/

 

Cheltenham in Bloom Entry Brings Helping Hands to the Community Garden

Helping Hands Community Garden at Well Close House will be on BBC Radio Gloucestershire this Sunday

The program is on between 06:00 & 7:00 and again between 09:00 & 10:00 as part of Richard Atkins Sunday morning program.

This is the first of a sequence of 12 monthly visits to the gardens at Well Close House and our guests yesterday were Zurich Community Trust, who in one day have transformed one area of the gardens.

We have also been visited by the Cheltenham in Bloom judges, the award ceremony is in September and though the gardens are not finished all the gardeners felt that taking part was the important thing. We were assisted in getting the gardens ready for judging by the three regular Wednesday volunteers but also 10-12 ‘outside’ volunteers who kindly gave a few hours support.
