About Support Arts Gardening Education (Sage)

SAGE stands for Support Arts Gardening Education. We promote the mental and physical well-being of adults experiencing mental health problems via the provision of creative therapeutic activities. who we support We can offer support to men and women over 18 whose life is troubled by mental health issues. These might range from mild to severe and include diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, panic attacks and PTSD. We are also able to accommodate adults who have a duel diagnosis of learning disability &/or physical disability. why we were set up SAGE was established in 1999 as a small voluntary gardening group set up after a needs assessment commissioned by Pitsmoor surgery. This confirmed a high incidence of mental health problems in the area and a low uptake of available services. We decided to set up a project that had a non-clinical and non-threatening feel but would still give focused, professional support. The sort of gardening we provide is called Therapeutic Horticulture. our evolution In 2006, we became a Registered Charity and Company Limited by guarantee and we started offering various sorts of creative therapy including arts and crafts, singing, cook and eat sessions, fishing etc. We have an office base connected to Pitsmoor Surgery and are managed by a Trustee Board. We employ several part-time staff and benefit from excellent input by volunteers , student placements and sessional workers.
