Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page! We are raising money for Horatio's Garden and here's why:

"The garden has provided a place of healing, a place to be alone, to think, to cry, to talk openly with family and friends, to meet other patients, to practice wheelchair skills, to let nature heal. So, to everyone who has supported Horatio's Garden in any way, I thank you. The difference you have made has been amazing."

"Thank God for this garden. Without the wheelchair training area, without patients being able to feel a camber and drop kerb and learn how to handle these, they would have no training at all. The garden is an absolute godsend. It makes so much difference being able to work with them out here. We are so lucky."

It is estimated that there are 50,000 people in the UK living with a spinal injury and each year approximately 2,500 people are newly injured.

The majority of patients spend upwards of two months in hospital and during that time they have little to no access to the outside world.

Horatio’s Garden is working to change that.

Spinal cord injuries are traumatic, life-changing events. Patients often have little or no access to the outside world during their hospital stay. However, research shows that being in contact with a natural environment contributes to an improved sense of wellbeing, which can have a positive impact on patient rehabilitation.

Leading landscape designers create these stunning sanctuaries, working in collaboration with prominent architects to design garden rooms ensuring the space can be used all year round. The gardens become an integral part of people’s lives throughout their time in hospital.

We are delighted to be #TeamFischers and for the London Landmarks Half Marathon and join #TeamHoratiosGarden. Horatio's Garden makes a real difference and it's a privilege to support them. Please donate whatever you can.

Thank you!
