Supporting the Forever Fields Gardening Club
12th August 2026
Yesterday, four members of the Sunward Step Manchester team had the pleasure of visiting the Forever Fields Gardening Club at St Margaret’s Centre in Manchester.
The gardening club is a relaxed, welcoming weekly group where everyone is encouraged to get involved, regardless of their previous gardening experience. Meeting every Tuesday, the group provides a great opportunity for people to spend time outdoors, learn new skills, meet others and enjoy being part of the local community.
We were delighted to spend some time with the group and show our support for the fantastic work they are doing. It was lovely to see people coming together, getting involved with gardening and creating a friendly and inclusive space for everyone.
At Sunward Step Manchester, we believe that strong communities are built through connection, inclusion and shared experiences. Supporting local groups like Forever Fields is a great way for us to connect with people in our community and help celebrate the positive things happening locally.
A big thank you to everyone at Forever Fields for welcoming us, we look forward to seeing you again!
