Who this task will support

Wellbeing Gardens York Hospital

Two gardens are to be redeveloped in York as part of the Gardens for Wellbeing Scheme. Groundwork will be starting in the gardens behind the Chapel off Junction 5 and the Staff Outpatients garden, just along from the Cancer Care Unit.• Created with staff, who were invited to include ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ from the national initiative in their applications, to encourage staff to engage with the outdoor space, connect with others and have opportunity to reflect during COVID times. Will be used by staff, visitor and patients to include therapeutic and reflection opportunity. Will give staff opportunities to get involved with volunteering to support maintenance of the gardens

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

York Hospital is planning to clear one of its current outdoor spaces to create a garden for their Outpatients Staff (who current have just a stuffy break room).

The Hospital has asked for our help for an hour to clear the space before contractors come in and start the construction work. Tasks include lopping back with secateurs and digging up some plants (with the hope of transplanting).

Meet outside the front, main entrance (not the A&E entrance!) at 4pm - please bring gloves.
