You may already know that the Garden runs a weekly support group for older people, many of whom say they often feel isolated. The portraits of some of the group’s members, have been on display this year in our Outdoor Gallery, just outside our front door.
Every Tuesday around 70 people gather together to enjoy each others company and to join in singing and art and crafting activities. They warm up with porridge, hot drinks, and a nutritious hot lunch, all freshly prepared and served by our hard-working cafe team.
As the Garden operates as a social enterprise and most of the income we need to keep open all year round is generated from our Cafe, the winter months are always financially challenging for us. The costs of running the weekly Tuesday group are substantial and we receive no grant-funding, so if you would like to support this vital service, you can make a donation, by clicking on the link below.
