Power NI has supported a Belfast residential home to transform its outdoor spaces with £1000 of funding.
The gardens at Towell House in the east of the city are set to be turned into a vibrant and uplifting area for residents.
The 'Late Bloomers' project is created by Towell House and aims to breathe new life into the outdoor spaces and make them more accessible for residents aged between 65 and 100.
Power NI's funding will allow for folding wheelchair ramps to be installed and raised bed planters created which will empower less able residents to enjoy both gardening and nature.
Fiona Beard, Project Manager at Towell House said: "We are overjoyed and very excited to have been chosen to receive the funding for our 'Late Bloomers' gardening project.
"We have many gardeners missing their gardens who would greatly enjoy getting back outside. The health benefits to the elderly, both physical and mental, are immeasurable, and particularly benefits our more isolated residents. We can’t wait to get our Late Bloomers started on the project."
Power NI’s Ashleigh O'Neill said: "We are honoured to support Towell House's 'Late Bloomers' project through our Brighter Communities initiative. Power NI is committed to fostering vibrant communities and we are excited to witness the positive impact this project will have on the residents and the local community."
