Over the coming months, with the support of HOB PCT and Enterprising Communities, My Time CIC will be taking on a team of land volunteers to improve and change green spaces across central Birmingham. In collaboration with My Time’s Scared Urban Space project, the project is aimed at people expeirencing mental health issues and who are currently unemployed.
“I have found the My Time Garden Project an enjoyable one. The other volunteers I got on really well with and the staff were really helpful and nice, I recommend it to anyone”
With support from My Times Horticultural therapy team, the programme hopes to involve local people in improving and changing local community spaces. The six session course hopes to encourage people to take up healthy out door activities which will both improving their self-esteem and future job prospects whilst also improving their local neighborhoods. One activity included participants putting up hanging baskets around local Sure Start Children Centres.
