and live on Freeview channel 276
The green space at Admiral Jellicoe House had been in a dishevelled state until workers paying their debt to society – from the Community Packback Group – helped them. The care home, belonging to the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust, is purposely designed for veterans of the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines.
Groundwork tasks completed at the home in Locksway Road, Southsea, over the last six weeks included clearing overgrown vegetation – 40 bin loads of weeds and bramble in the first two weeks – digging over flower beds and erecting fences.
