Prior to lockdown, Peter Paul had a volunteering job in Dundalk where he went out to cut grass, weed and do other outdoor work. He had a lot of pride and satisfaction in his role and enjoyed learning on the job as he was trained in different landscaping skills. This all stopped when coronavirus restrictions were put in place in 2020.

When the team at Park Avenue realised how much Peter Paul was missing working outdoors and putting his skills to use, they took matters into their own hands: organising the purchase of a shed, strimmer and other landscaping materials just for him. He started to do landscaping for Praxis Care services in the area and is very proud of his achievements, keeping the services in Dundalk looking beautiful!
