Empowering Students through  Horticulture

Rotherham Opportunities College and Thundercliffe Grange, have partnered to create a vibrant, inclusive space where 16-25-year-olds with learning and physical disabilities can develop skills, confidence, and a deeper connection with nature.

Who We Are Working With

  • Rotherham Opportunities College provides education and training for young adults with learning disabilities, helping them gain independence and essential life skills.
  • Thundercliffe Grange, a historic estate with beautiful grounds, offers a unique and therapeutic environment for this project, fostering well-being and community engagement.

How Your Support Will Help

Our vision is to transform lives through gardening—providing hands-on experience, education, and a sense of purpose. The funds we raise will go toward gardening equipment such as:
-Tools (spades, trowels, rakes)
- Seeds & plants for sustainable growing
- Raised beds & accessible planters for easy participation
- Greenhouse for year-round cultivation
- Compost & organic materials to support eco-friendly gardening

A Sustainable Project for a Greener Future

This project goes beyond gardening—it’s about creating a sustainable and eco-conscious initiative. We will:

- Encourage biodiversity through wildlife-friendly planting
- Promote composting to reduce waste and enrich soil
- Harvest rainwater to conserve resources
- Grow food locally to support healthy, thriving communities

By preventing, preparing for, and protecting against the impacts of climate change, we are fostering a greener, more inclusive future.
