Specialist Support:

Garon Park CIC works with Welcome to the UK to offer work experience, volunteering and tailored support for families who are new to the UK. Our beautiful tranquil grounds offer a fantastic environment for those who have experienced trauma allowing them to use the park to refocus and prepare themselves for their new lives in the UK.

Garon Park is able to offer people to opportunity to practice their English in order to gain confidence by taking part in a range of different activities as it is uniquely able to offer opportunities in hospitality, horticulture, grounds maintenance, administration, conservation and customer service.

Our community gardens can be used by the local community to grow food which can then be shared with the community and we will soon be opening a food exchange where food items can be donated and collected. Cooking classes also enable people to learn new skills to help them feed themselves and their families in a more cost effective way.
