She said: “These sort of events are an opportunity to show other services what we do and a chance to build relationships with other services.
“This one was particularly special as we were celebrating the 15th anniversary of Fair View Court.
“I managed to secure some funding for some plants and over the last few weeks, customers and colleagues have been painting fencing and planting the new plants ready for the event.
“We had a barbecue and cakes and some customers displayed their artwork. Having the Mayor present was great.
“The passion, commitment and enthusiasm from the staff team was clear on the day and after all the years working at Fair View Court, they are still so committed to helping reduce homelessness and make a significant change to people’s lives.
