Your support is helping us raise the final £50,000 needed to bring Horatio's Garden to The Spinal Cord Injury Unit at Musgrave Park Hospital in Belfast.

Designed by acclaimed designer Andy Sturgeon, Horatio's Garden Northern Ireland will be a peaceful haven for people dealing with life changing injuries and who are facing long stays in hospital far from home. The garden will support over 70 inpatients and 1,200 outpatients that pass through the SCIU every year, and will also be there to support people staying in the Amputee Rehabilitation Unit, which has a total of eight beds.

Each Horatio's Garden is designed to be a home away from home, offering patients, their loved ones and NHS staff a beautiful place of calm, where they can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature all year round. The garden at the SCIU will be there to help patients, their families and their friends as they adjust to living with life-changing injuries, giving people somewhere to quietly think and reflect, as well as providing people with a stunning natural environment that people can enjoy spending time in together.

Once complete the charity will employ a Head Gardener and Garden Assistant who will tend to the garden and provide a range of creative, social and therapeutic activities to support the psychological and physical wellbeing of patients and their loved ones.

Working with Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, we want to bring our beautiful garden project to Belfast to provide a vital sanctuary for everyone affected by spinal cord injury in Northern Ireland.

Thank you for your support.
