LEAP Green Services & Bloom AT LEAP – Adult Day-care Provision for People with a Learning Disability. WHO ARE WE? LEAP Green Services (formally known as Greenscape) is an award winning charitable social enterprise based in Ashton-under-Lyne, providing grounds maintenance, gardening and environmental services within Tameside and surrounding areas. The enterprise also offers BLOOM, a purposeful day care for adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities and those with long term health problems on our allotment in Hyde. Keeping Fit LEAP Green Services and Bloom’s day-care model is unique as we offer individuals an opportunity to pursue their interests and discover their abilities by engaging in activities such as digging, grass cutting, weeding, planting, pruning, hedge-cutting and other aspects of general garden maintenance, whilst participating in real work experiences. As well as helping to develop new skills and confidence, gardening is a great way to enhance wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Bloom – Our large allotment is well equipped with a kitchen, heated woodshed, polytunnels and toilets allowing us to open throughout the year. In addition to the growing participants enjoy cooking, baking, craft, music and wellbeing activities, especially in the colder months. There is always something for everyone to get involved with and have a meaningful day. LEAP Green Services – Attend various sites within Tameside and deliver our services, participants are fully supported in all activities, helping them to develop new skills, build confidence and have a sense of achievement. Health benefits include; • Better physical health through exercise - Regular energetic gardening provides the same positive health benefits as jogging or swimming. • Improved mental health through a sense of purpose and achievement - Gardening is interesting and provides a variety of different tasks to perform as the seasons change.
