We work in partnership with local organisations to provide services to disadvantaged groups. Our Growing Ability project for adults with learning difficulties is run in partnership with the Growing People Horticulture Therapy Programme
who deliver social and therapeutic horticulture to a range of people
with support needs in Letchworth. Our Growing Clearer Minds project, providing eco-therapy to people with mental health difficulties, is run in partnership with Mind in Mid Herts. |
