At the Cart Shed, we believe that being involved in nature has benefits for everyone.
Information for Professionals
Before you refer someone to our service, there are a few things you should take into account.
​
Mobility
Our environment may not be suitable for those with poor mobility. There is a short walk from where cars/minibuses park to each site and, as this is a wood, the ground can be uneven and sometimes muddy. Participants also have to be able to manage a few steps to be able to access our compost loos.
Participants need to cope independently.
Our taster sessions help us to assess their suitability before they begin working with us but please consider whether our environment would be safe for them.
Level of Support
We try to support as many people as we can, however there are some people we cannot work with due to the complexity of their needs and the risk they may pose to others.
As a Tier 2 mental health organisation, we do not work with:
- people with complex physical health needs that require a multidisciplinary approach
- anyone needing 121 support - we work with groups and the size of our sites mean we cannot always accommodate support workers alongside participants.
- those who are violent and/or aggressive and pose a risk to our team or other participants. Anything classed as medium risk and above cannot be accommodated.
- anyone posing a risk to children
- anyone in mental health crisis who is not receiving support elsewhere
- anyone under Probation unless we have full disclosure and can assess them as low risk
