Life Changers programme in Birmingham

Thrive’s Life Changers programme in Birmingham will provide a vital lifeline to people living with a life changing illness, injury or long-term health condition, or who have experienced a life-changing event, such as those recovering from a stroke, cancer, surgery or living with diabetes, multiple sclerosis, long covid or other health conditions.

Anja Gooding, Vitax’s CEO, says: “Gardening has the power to transform lives, and we are extremely proud to be working with Thrive and to witness the positive impact the programme will have on both individuals and local communities, and the far-reaching benefits gardening can bring.”

Each session enables people to experience the joy and health benefits of gardening in a social atmosphere, where individuals can build confidence to regain or maintain a healthy and independent lifestyle.
