A community centre just over Richmond Bridge has spent lockdown transforming its outdoor space and has now unveiled a beautiful new sensory garden.
The ETNA (East Twickenham Neighbourhood Association) Community Centre is an inclusive space based on Rosslyn Road, home to lots of events and activities as well as its new sensory garden.
The newly-planted garden was funded by Hampton Fund and Our Space, and aims to improve biodiversity, and provides a calm and beautiful space for the local neighbourhood.
Last year the centre fundraised for the new garden by selling a limited-edition photographic montage entitled Aspects of Twickenham by professional photographer Emma Durnford.
The centre also now has a fabulous Community Kitchen where a pay-as-you-feel lunch Cafe is available three times a week with seating on the spacious outdoor deck. The café is run by the The Real Junk Food Project, and Nub News paid the café a visit when it reopened indoors, which you can read about here.
Accessibility and inclusivity to ETNA have also been improved, with step-free access, disabled parking, induction loops and acoustic panels.
The centre runs a range of classes and activities for all members of the community and rents out rooms for all to enjoy.
