A Spalding residential care home is the latest to benefit from funds being distributed from the wound-up charity DASH Holiday Homes.

Southfield House in Woolram Wygate has received £2,000 towards establishing further planters and troughs for residents to use.

DASH trustee Angela Newton said: “They are built so that residents in wheelchairs can pull right up to them and set plants and do some weeding.
“We were impressed with some raised planters and troughs that had been made for a patio area.”

Other beneficiaries from the charity’s cash have been Sense Stables (£20,000), Riding for the Disabled Association Fenland Group (£10,000) and Spalding PHAB (Disabled and Able Bodied) Club (£27,000).
