In summer, Dagenham Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What the van needs

- A clear way in for the van
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
