Event: The Grange swims the Channel, from 1 April 2024 to 30 April 2024
An amazing team of people we support at The Grange will be swimming/walking the equivalent of the English channel during the month of April 2024. To raise funds for a wheelchair accessible path in out award winning Walled garden.

Story

The Grange recently installed a greenhouse in our walled garden to expand horticulture skills sessions year-round for the people we support. However, the current route to the greenhouse contains uneven soil and aggregate, making it inaccessible for those with mobility issues or wheelchairs.

We would like to install a 2.5m wide, 72m long permeable paved path using recycled materials leading from the garden entrance to the greenhouse. We also plan a circular path near the entrance where the people we support will design a mosaic centerpiece. The light-colored paving will also help partially sighted individuals navigate safely.

The total cost is estimated around £38,000. This project will enable full accessibility and beautify our award-winning walled garden.
