The transformation of our Young Carers garden

The garden is a space for young carers to relax, socialise and enjoy freshly cooked food, all while getting some respite from their caring responsibilities. Our staff also use it for wellbeing events. However, over the years, it has slowly fallen into disrepair.

With the help of Bristol Water, the Network Plus team volunteered several days of their own time to make this garden a beautiful and inviting space for young carers and staff.

Their work included the removal of weeds, cleaning paths and paving, painting the benches and sheds and donating a fabulous new pizza oven and barbeque.

Four young carers have already tested the space and pizza oven and given it a big seal of approval!

We very much appreciate the Network Plus team for breathing new life into this space and giving young carers a fresh, peaceful place to unwind.
