The Diggers
The Diggers have been doing garden construction work. This has meant they have been able to earn an income.
The work so far has been for other people with learning disabilities. The Diggers have been able to encourage the second group of people with learning disabilities to engage with and use the garden space more fully. This has happened because they have been involved them at all stages of the garden's development; from planning the garden to doing some of the work alongside The Diggers.
This has gone really well; there has been a lot of enthusiasm and support for the work The Diggers are doing.
The Diggers were funded by Morecambe Bay Health Trust up to the end of January 2003 as a pilot project. At present we are seeking funding to enable The Diggers to become a permanent project.
