Ray Hyde – 02392 455500 or ray@beneficial.org.uk www.beneficial.org.uk/gmaintenance.htm

CRITETRIA FOR ACCEPTANCE TO THE GARDENING SCHEME FOR OLDER PEOPLE

The aim of this pilot project is to offer a gardening service for older people in the following areas – Totton, then up to the north of Romsey and north of Winchester, across to Petersfield. (not to include Portsmouth or Southampton ) - see accompanying map.

This gardening project will help these older people adapt their gardens to a more low maintained garden which is easier for them to manage and enjoy, thereby enabling them to stay in their own homes for as long as they choose.

These older people – over 65 years may have difficulty managing their own garden – either temporarily or on a more permanent bases.

The older person may have suffered from ill health/bereavement etc (hospital admission) which has prevented them from managing the garden, which has now become overgrown or unmanageable.

They may have been targeted as being vulnerable at risk of unscrupulous traders due to an overgrown, neglected front gardens.

1) Over 65 years old.

2) Living either on their own or partner of a similar age.

3) Living in their own home – not a private housing association scheme or similar.

4) Live within the defined area of the project.

5) Need some assistance with their garden for a “limited time” – to be reviewed by the BFGP as required.

6) Do not contribute to a maintenance fund for their housing.

The cost will be £10 per hour - this will cover a group of people, some of whom who will have learning difficulties but they will be supervised/working with an employee of the Beneficial Foundation, who will supply all tools/equipment as necessary to do the gardening.

The BFGP will have discretion to adapt the above as they see fit, after discussion with Older Persons Well Being Team.
