Following the grant given by The Big Lottery (Breathing Places) of £9,905 we commenced a Community Consultation phase.

Local organisations, companies and charities were invited to a community consultation open day. Some significant mutually beneficial relationships were established and following the input received after the Open Day, plans were revised to incorporate feedback received in order to ensure that the WILD garden would be fully inclusive and accessible to people with motor disabilities of all ages, from outside of the organisation as well as within.

"This garden will encourage wildlife to The Rainbow Centre, provide an opportunity for the children and adults with disabilities, (who attend the centre) to see wildlife in a natural habitat and raise awareness of a 'garden philosophy' to wildlife conservation. Play Away WILD will also encourage greater community involvement, volunteering and help to enhance the delivery of our Conductive Education services."
