Dobbies in Barlborough donated £250-worth of gardening equipment and local businesses have donated raffle prizes for the Summer Fayre on 26th June.

Service user Gerrard Chambers, pictured far left, thanked everyone who has supported the group so far and said they also hope money raised will help to buy a new greenhouse.
