Thanks to Manchester City Council who made it possible for us to put up fencing in the Sensory Garden from a Cash Grant which my Dad Applied forWelding Engineering/Carter fencing Ltd..both from Failsworth, who did the work and they did a great job it was all done in a day on the 6th/Oct/2008 Blog by Johnny Biggs Thanks to John Biggs. Who put in for the funding.This now means we can develop the garden further, without plants and other things that we make for the garden, doesn't get damaged when children and young people play football at the back of the club.It is hoped that one day we get sufficient funding to have a new Multi Games Area built at the rear of the club.
