Reading Court, Stratford-upon-Avon, recently welcomed members of Stoneleigh Lodge, Leamington Spa, who visited to present a specially designed accessible picnic table for the enjoyment of residents.

The donation was gratefully received by Scheme Manager Rachel Keenan and House Committee Chair John Kisbey, who extended thanks on behalf of the residents. The bench is a welcome addition to the newly developed courtyard seating and barbecue area, providing improved access and comfort for residents with limited mobility.

“The residents are already enjoying the new outdoor space,” said Rachel. “This particular table was chosen for its ease of use, ensuring everyone can join in comfortably.”

The visit was marked by a short presentation and refreshments in the summer sunshine. A commemorative plaque was fixed to the table, after some light-hearted discussion among the Brethren about who should take on the task.
