Gardening kick-start

A scheme for Haringey's unpaid carers

The purpose of this scheme is to give carers who live with the cared for person a one-off service to kick start their garden and make it a relaxing place to be.

The household must have a commitment to maintain the garden once the work has been done.

Eligibility

The service will only be provided as an outcome of a carer’s assessment where a care manager, care co-ordinator or approved assessor has visited the carer and recommends that this service will benefit the carer’s health and well-being. Carers will be allocated gardening to the value of £200 per household. At present we can only work on two gardens per month.

To qualify for the service, carers must:

• Meet Haringey Council’s eligibility criteria for a carer’s assessment
• Care for someone aged 18 or over who lives in Haringey
• Be aged 18 or over
• Have an interest in bringing their garden back to life.

To find out more about this scheme, contact the care manager or team of the person you care for. If you are not sure who to contact, call:
