We are fundraising to be able to develop the garden and activity space for Mencap residents at their home.

The garden is a great space with lots of potential, but unfortunately most of it is inaccessible to the 3 people who live there, all of whom have a range of complex needs and are wheelchair users. By supporting this project, you will be enabling them to access the whole garden, as well as have more choices of where and how they spend their time in the garden.

The plan involves wheelchair friendly paths for access, paved areas for seating and raised beds to enabling residents to be able to get involved in growing their own plants.

In addition to currently not being able to access large parts of the garden, 1 resident used to benefit and enjoy access to trampolines, but since the pandemic this activity in the community is no longer possible. The garden plan also includes putting in a sunken trampoline for residents to get bouncing again and would be accessible for all.

Inside their home the plan is to convert one of the rooms into a purpose-built sensory space. This dual-purpose sensory room will offer a safe and calming environment, as well as being able to be feature-rich with interactive equipment for sensory stimulation and activity.

Residents will massively benefit from this work. Both the sensory room and garden will be invaluable for their physical, mental, and social wellbeing. It will enable the residents to make greater use and have greater enjoyment from their home.
