Defence Garden Scheme
In Northern Ireland, Members are getting involved in the Defence Garden Scheme’s 10 week programme which started this Spring.
The Defence Garden Scheme supports veterans and service leavers, aiming to help fill the gap in mental health support by increasing access to nature-based therapy; creating the time and space for bespoke, holistic support and a ‘soft landing’.
So far, Members have enjoyed digging potatoes at a nursing home, planting seeds from our very own National Wellbeing Creative Programme, and have relished the sunshine while laying fresh bark chippings!
