Thursday 27 September 2012: Thank you Deloitte!

A big thank you to a team from Deloitte who, under Steve Joul’s leadership, successfully carried out the gargantuan task of tidying up the Hospice Woodland.

The woodland had become rather overgrown and the team had to remove brambles, branches and even some trees to re-establish reasonable access.  A member of the FOAW committee has walked through the woodland and says that as a result of Deloitte’s work it has been vastly improved.

Thank you again!

The Happy Team!
