Becki Jupp, St Barnabas House: Garden classes in full bloom

I'm always delighted to see the buzz of activity in our Living Well space. This week, we were all a-bloom as the Full Bloom gardening group got to work on spring planters.

Becki Jupp, Deputy CEO at St Barnabas House

Our ‘Well Being’ room is a sun trap that overlooks the courtyard which has calming fountains and lots of greenery to enjoy. It’s the perfect setting to engage in seasonal garden activities whilst having a chat and a cup of tea.

These classes are a six-week course that run throughout the year and are open to anyone living in our catchment area that has a life-limiting illness or those with frailty.

We hold these sessions as we know how important it is to feel connected with people, it’s wonderful to see so much laughter and new friendships forming. The courses allow individuals to enjoy activities and socialise whilst in a safe and supportive environment.

We'd love to hear from you if you think you live in the area and are curious if you could benefit from these services. Call 01903 254777 or visit www.stbarnabashospice.org.uk/refer-yourself-to-living-well to find out more.
