About the project
PROJECT TITLE: Crossley Sensory Retreat
LOCATION: Oldham
FUNDING: Awarded £15,000 in Round Three of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund
DELIVERED BY: Crossley Community Association
The idea
Develop an unused piece of land in the grounds of a community centre into a green space that will become a sensory garden and a place which can be enjoyed by the local residents. The area will be planted with a variety of plants and be used for a range of activities with local user groups including schools. The area will give people the opportunity to take part in organised activities or enjoy a space to sit and relax to enjoy the outdoors.
