Festina Lente is an organisation which provides employment for people with special needs and also offers many facilities for the people in the community. They have an Equestrian Center and Riding School and a Victorian Walled Garden. From the 9th to the 13th of November a few people from my year were chosen to go to Festina Lente to help them with a few jobs that had to be done. I went everyday, we mainly helped in the gardens
weeding, cutting hedges and cleaning up areas which they wanted to renovate. For example we cleared an old well which they are going to make a sandpit for the children to play in We also helped bag manure which they sell to the public for fertiliser and cleaned the kick-boards around the riding schools arena. The four days spent in Festina Lente was a great way to help the community and was a lot of fun, except the terrible weather, which meant that we had to leave early some of the days.
