"I've walked past the scheme for years, always admiring the garden and the peaceful nature along the canal. I often wondered what it was like inside.
When the time came to move, I knew Etruria was the place for me." - Geoff, Resident "I've lived at Etruria for over 23 years, and I still love it just as much as the day I moved in.
It's a lovely place - I liked it as soon as I saw it. The Scheme Manager is always there if I need help or have any worries. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
I was born and bred in Etruria, and I truly love this area." - Arthur, Resident "I moved to Etruria to be around people my own age and feel part of a community.
I'd lived in the local area for a long time, but before I came here, I was struggling - feeling isolated and unable to manage in my old home.
