Our Mission:
At a glance:
In our Wellbeing Park, we provide activities to engage people with nature, enhance the wellbeing of the local community and the value of the environment. Across 19 acres of habitat, we run programmes using park facilities that improve people’s health, offer social inclusion and develop their skills. Our passion for protecting the local environment generates a huge array of volunteering and work experience opportunities in a wide range of sectors; including conservation, land management, biodiversity monitoring, welfare support and marketing. The Wellbeing Park addresses a severe green space deficit and plays host to Garon Park Youth Club, which provides a safe place for local young people to flourish.
Among the facilities in our space are:
• An 800m, fully accessible Wellbeing Trail
• A Community Garden, growing hundreds of kilograms of food per year
• 2 Outdoor Gyms
• A Heritage Orchard with local pear, plum and apple cultivars
• A Dry Garden featuring drought tolerant plants
• The Hive Nature School
• A Storytelling Chair for spellbinding stories
By combining environmental stewardship with community engagement, we’re working to deliver lasting social, health and environmental benefits for people of all ages across the city.
