❤️ Such a special moment for The Red Shed ❤️
Proud winners of the Hertfordshire High Sheriff Award 2026 – so grateful for the amazing community behind it all 🌱 🌼 🪏 🪴 The High Sheriff of Hertfordshire Hertfordshire Community Foundation

We’re delighted to have been recognised by the High Sheriff and the HCF judging panel with this award.

This year’s theme, nurture through nature, truly reflects what we strive for at The Red Shed — creating a safe, joyful outdoor space where people living with dementia and their carers can reconnect, feel valued and thrive.

Thank you for celebrating the work we love.

At The Red Shed in Stevenage, nature nurtures people living with dementia and their carers 🌿

Through dementia-friendly gardening, participants connect, stay active, engage their senses, learn new skills, and give back—experiencing calm, purpose, and community.

Rooted in the ‘Nurture through Nature’ approach, The Red Shed transforms green spaces into a sanctuary where some of the most vulnerable in our community can truly flourish 💚

Congratulations on being awarded a High Sheriff of Hertfordshire Award!

A Year of Caring: Dementia.
We’re inviting carers to share their experiences of the first 12 months after a dementia diagnosis.
Please join us in Ware on Tuesday 17th March for a workshop and lunch to help shape better early-stage support in Hertfordshire.
We would love to hear about your experiences so far. Your insight will help us understand what works and what might be missing or could be improved.
You do not need to be registered with us to attend. Please visit our website to book -

We're looking forward to coming along to the Dementia Friends Stevenage Event next week ❤️

The Red Shed is proud to hold a Gold Status in the Dementia Friendly Accreditation, and we've seen first-hand how small changes in awareness, communication and environment can make a huge difference for people living with dementia and their families.

If you're a local business or organisation, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn more about becoming dementia friendly, hear from the Alzheimer's Society and Memory Support Hertfordshire, and explore practical steps that help create a more inclusive community.

There will also be a marketplace of local support services, and The Red Shed will be there, so please do come and say hello!
