Thrive uses gardening to bring about positive changes in the lives of people living with disabilities or ill health with an approach called social and therapeutic horticulture, where trained

horticultural therapists work with plants and people to improve an individual’s physical and psychological health, communication and thinking skills.

They are currently seeking more Client Gardener Support Volunteers to work alongside client gardeners. From encouraging, talking, demonstrating, or guiding the individuals to a greater or lesser

extent depending on their needs, to helping clear up after gardeners have left.

Volunteers will need to be able to commit to one day a week for a minimum of six months, between 9.45am – 3.15pm on weekdays.

Enrych Berkshire is an organisation that provides people with disabilities extra support to enable them to enjoy hobbies, interests and activities of their choosing.
