Our Green Citizens programme empowers people with learning disabilities to share their knowledge with others and make a positive contribution to the conversation about local sustainability, conservation and wildlife.
Hello, I’m Sam
A grant from the Samworth Foundation's Transformation & Innovation Fund is enabling us to improve our use of outdoor space at our two Flower Pod centres. We are creating accessible therapeutic garden and wildlife spaces to offer new learning and mentoring programmes. Some of our clients are taking the lead as environmental champions in their communities and within Reach.
Enabling people with learning disabilities to participate fully in their local communities has always been at the core of Reach’s mission and thanks to this funding, we're now able to take this a step further through our Green Citizens programme.
Please see our blog to read about our progress so far.
If you want to find out more about the programme, please call or drop me a line.
