SAGE Sheffield
Support – Arts – Gardening- Education
SAGE is a charity that provides therapeutic arts and horticulture programmes for any adults whose lives have been affected by their mental health.
About SAGE
SAGE helps promote wellbeing by providing meaningful activities in a welcoming environment. We like to find out what our members enjoy, and then offer support and encouragement where needed.
On the allotment we have raised beds and accessible paths for easier access. The allotment groups conclude with a cooked lunch using home grown produce from our allotment.
SAGE members will meet new friends and find a welcoming community, give and receive support, and find respite from life’s problems.
What do our members say about SAGE?
It’s been so good to get out together. I really value these trips. It helps build friendships.
