 The
work force
BlueSkys provides social inclusion, self-worth and personal
well-being through supported, meaningful occupation and education,
for those with or recovering from mental ill health and/or with a
learning disability.
The project is the result of consultation with mental health service
users and statutory and voluntary sector organisations.
Horticulture has been identified as one of the most useful forms of
therapeutic activity to aid recovery.
|
|
| All aspects of horticulture
will be undertaken by Frame volunteers and placements from external
organisations, who will be supervised by suitably qualified and experienced
staff. |
