A person supported by Active Pathways has started a volunteering placement at a local horticultural project, gaining practical experience and exploring opportunities for further learning.
The placement is with a community partner that Active Pathways has worked with for the past two years. In a supportive outdoor setting, the individual is developing skills in groundwork, the safe use of power tools and basic mechanics.
The placement is also helping them build confidence and establish a regular routine, with practical tasks that give them opportunities to learn alongside others.
For those interested in taking their learning further, the project’s links with a local college offer potential routes into education and qualifications in horticulture, groundwork and related subjects.
The partnership gives people supported by Active Pathways opportunities to try something new, develop their interests and consider what they would like to do next.
