Customers from independent living schemes in Herefordshire and Shropshire have been busy giving their communal gardens a makeover this spring.

Volunteers running a village hall in Orleton, Herefordshire, are celebrating after receiving £3000 to replace an aging heating system. The hall, which acts as a community hub for local groups of all ages, used the grant from Connexus to replace and relocate its oil tank and partly fund a new boiler.

Recently we sat down with Billy Billingham - the star of SAS: Who Dares Wins and SAS: Catching the Criminals - to chat about his TV career, what he's learned from working with celebrities and his latest tour Always a Little Further.

Connexus recently supported the National Housing Federation's Starts at Home campaign by asking customers to share their experiences of supported housing.
