A Garden for All Seasons: thank you for helping make it possible

This winter, our community came together to help create something lasting and we want to say a heartfelt thank you!

Through our 2025 Winter Appeal, supporters helped us take meaningful steps towards creating an accessible garden designed for and with the people we support. A space where everyone can take part, all year round.

For many people with disabilities, access to outdoor space hasn’t always been straightforward. Uneven ground, narrow paths or a lack of seating can turn everyday moments into barriers. Thanks to the generosity shown during the appeal, we are now able to move forward with plans for a garden that removes those barriers – with raised beds, level pathways, sheltered seating and space to grow.

This garden will be more than a green space. It will support confidence, connection and wellbeing. It will offer opportunities for shared activity, quiet moments, learning new skills and enjoying time outdoors – all in a way that reflects choice, independence and belonging.

Inclusive outdoor spaces matter. They help people stay active, build routines, connect with others and enjoy the simple pleasure of being outside. By supporting the Winter Appeal, our community helped turn an idea into action and laid the foundations for a space that will be part of everyday life for the people we support.

Thank You

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, fundraised, shared our message or supported the appeal in other ways. Every contribution played a part in moving this project forward. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us build our garden for all seasons.

What happens next

Now that the Winter Appeal has closed, our focus is on turning these plans into reality. Over the coming months, we’ll be progressing design work, preparing the space and working alongside the people we support to shape a garden that truly reflects how it will be used.
