Create a community garden for our Huddersfield supported housing residents, who are formerly homeless, recovering from addictions and trauma survivors.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
Happydays UK offers accommodation and support for people who are trying to regain their independence after having been street homeless. We believe that working and living as a community can help our residents to build their self-esteem and motivation. We have 12 residents in central Huddersfield who share a garden area, and we would love to start a gardening project with them. This would give them horticultural skills and a sense of achievement; it would create a space both for socialising and for sanctuary; and growing edible produce would create a further opportunity to extend their cooking skills.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The residents will benefit from exercise, having a new interest, learning new skills, working as a group, being close to nature, growing their own food, and having a pleasant place to spend time.
