Greenwell Space
About the project
PROJECT TITLE: Greenwell Space
LOCATION: Stockport
FUNDING: Awarded £11,000 in Round Five of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund
DELIVERED BY: Beacon Counselling
The idea
The group will convert the hard landscaped grey Merseyway shopping centre into a lush, green, biodiverse hub that promotes an array of wellbeing benefits to the local community.
Beacon Counselling are passionate about adding greenery to this shopping centre due to consistent feedback on the lack of local green space within the main retail area.
They are located in an IMD 1 area which highlights the urgent need for accessible green space for wellbeing support. The group believe the scheme will improve mental health through creating meaningful connections with nature by holding wellbeing workshops with professionals, social prescribing and volunteering sessions.
