Bringing a garden to RHS Tatton Park is an annual highlight for Petrus! Part of our social prescribing work, each garden is designed with our service users and is a project they take great pride in co-creating.
On 28th June, volunteers and service users will take on their annual sponsored walk in the Hollingworth Lake area, to do their bit to raise funds for the project.
You can support them in person on the day, by dropping your spare change into their collection buckets, or online by donating to this Enthuse page.
Being part of the fundraising journey is really empowering and affirming for our service users. To know that they have the support of the local community as they continue to overcome the challenges they have faced through their experience of homelessness, creates a powerful sense of belonging.
About this year’s garden:
The Empowerment Garden has been designed with our service users to showcase how people can be empowered and unified through horticulture. Focusing on biophilia, the tendency to interact or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature, strengthening our connections to food and how it’s grown is something that we can all relate to and benefit from.
It empowers us by improving our health and well-being through nature connectivity, physical activity and access to fresh produce while increasing opportunities to take ownership of the environment around us, contribute to positive climate action and live more sustainable, healthier lives.
You can donate to their sponsored walk fundraiser here.
Thank you for supporting our work ending homelessness, together!
