🌿 Over the past few months, we have been working hard to transform the outdoor space at the Branksome Centre into a Therapeutic Garden.
Our goal, to create an inviting, therapeutic outdoor space, full of calming, sensory herbs and flowers to be enjoyed by both our staff and service users.
After a lot of work and support, we were able to welcome guests into the new space to celebrate the opening of our new garden.
A big task such as this requires a lot of backing. So we would like to shout out our amazing supporters for their contributions toward helping make this idea into something real!
A huge thank you to:
🤞National Lottery Community Fund for making the transformation of the garden possible. Their support has helped turn the space into somewhere welcoming and positive that the people we support can enjoy, connect in and benefit from for years to come.
