Detailed description

Who we are:

The Red Shed Project has a beautiful, dementia friendly garden on a quiet and peaceful site in Stevenage. Our horticultural specialists, supported by a team of volunteers, provide a wide range of garden-based activities and experiences for people living with dementia and their carers. Our aim is to improve physical and mental wellbeing, alleviate loneliness and reduce isolation.

We run several Garden Clubs throughout the week, enabling our participants to enjoy the well acknowledged benefits of gardening in a relaxed and safe environment. We network and work with a wide range of other organisations and by doing this, we are involved more broadly in the development of services for this group of people and in research.

Our garden is well established, well supported by the community and valued by our participants, who also have a say as stakeholders in the development of the services we offer them.
