Garden Therapy Programme

South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust Cancer Information and Support Service in partnership with South Tyneside Libraries is launching a 4-month craft-based garden therapy programme for cancer patients at The Word Rooftop Garden, South Shields.

Create and take home:

Herb Indoor Basket – Plant a culinary herb basket to enjoy at home (4th Sept)

Bringing the Ocean Home – Create a calming indoor beach scene (2nd Oct)

Autumnal Door Decoration – Craft a natural seasonal door ring (6th Nov)

A Gift of Hope – Make a festive door swag with meaning and foliage (4th Dec)

All materials are provided, and each participant will take home their creation after every session. A small fee of £3 per session helps cover costs but each craft is worth so much more!
