A MENTAL health charity opened its garden for a summer fair event.

Trust Links invited residents to the event at its community garden in Elm Road, Shoeburyness.

The sun shone and the visitors enjoyed a range of fun activities including music and activities.

Trust Links chief executive, Matt King, said: “We cannot thank our volunteers, staff, and members enough for their continued hard work.

“Not only did we host yet another successful community event, but our garden is looking stunning and producing some delicious home-grown produce too.

“We are particularly grateful for the support of the Southend Lions once again, and Shoeburyness Asda and Coop Great Wakering, plus of course our guest musicians.”
