The Old Moat Garden Centre
The Old Moat Garden Centre is a social enterprise service built to help people living with mental ill health re-gain important life skills in employment and volunteering in a safe and friendly environment.
We’re here to help
Our social enterprise garden centre supports people in the way that works for them.
This includes training towards achieving vocational qualifications in horticulture or retailing or just the experience of teamwork in a supportive environment which can help build confidence and provide a structure to daily life.
We provide support planning sessions allowing people to set personal goals for their own recovery and identify what support may be needed to help them meet their aspirations.
Through the Workers’ Educational Association, we provide courses in such subjects as transferable skills, confidence building, self-presentation, communication skills, mindfulness and goal setting.
The expansion of the garden centre has enabled us to offer a wider variety of work placements and employment opportunities.
As well as the services we provide to the people we support, we provide horticultural and retails services to the public through our garden centre, café and shop.
