||Purchases/changes|In January 2022 we hired a company to come and remove 3 old sheds and<br>resources. These sheds were becoming unfit for purpose.<br>Also in January 2022, we had a local carpentry company design and install a<br>wooden structure – The Den. This replaced the old sheds. The Den provides an<br>under cover space suitable for all children and also, storage for resources.<br>In April 2022, we decided that the grass area in front of The Den, had the<br>potential to decrease the life expectancy of the Den due to the mud in the<br>colder months being brought into the structure. We had artificial grass installed<br>in this area only|JB|
