Therapeutic Gardening and Food Related Activity

Tender description

The Food for Thought programme will work principally but not exclusively in the Thriving Neighbourhood areas of Govan, Gorbals and Priesthill/Househillwood, engaging population groups who experience significant social and health inequalities. The Shields Community Garden has provided an opportunity to connect people to non-medical supports and resources within the local community as part of the wider COPC (Community Oriented Primary Care) approach that has been adopted within East Pollokshields and this work will continue to inform the development of social and green care prescribing and build on existing work that recognises the value of access to quality greenspaces in supporting individual and community resilience.
