A CARE home welcomed guests following garden works donated by an island business.

Willalla House, Poplar Road, Canvey were visited by councillors and the Chelsea Pensioners after works by Canvey Supplies.

The business helped create a better garden for the residents.

Peter May, Canvey Independent councillor was also invited.

He said: “The home needed paving slabs and work to tidy the gardens and the business donated materials and labour for free.

“It was a wonderful idea and the residents of the home were so pleased with this.

“The Chelsea Pensioners love coming to Canvey and enjoyed the day. We took them to other homes on Canvey.”
