Horticulture

Situated within the grounds of our biggest unit in Felthorpe is our horticultural team known as Crafts & Laughs who organise all company activities and host our service users on a daily basis who participate in a variety of activities.

• Gardening
• Woodwork & needlework
• Puzzles
• Writing & drawing
• BBQs and social events such as bingo and seasonal parties
• Animal wellbeing visits

• We provide individuals with structured appropriate therapeutic activities, at a pace suitable to their capabilities and in relation to their identified needs, personal choices and outcomes.

• Each individual is supported and encouraged to develop his/her potential and independence, in line with the benefits associated with horticultural therapy.

• People who use the service become involved in the project on a day to day basis, exercising flair, creativity and innovative solutions regarding the ability to generate income from growing produce. This produce is then sold to the people who live in our homes, where they are encouraged to consider healthy lifestyle choices and supported to cook with fresh ingredients where possible.
