A Northwich community garden project can continue offering toddler sessions thanks to a donation from Taylor Wimpey Manchester.
The leading homebuilder has donated £600 towards Grozone, a community garden, horticultural and wildlife initiative, which offers social and horticultural therapy for people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety.

Caroline Foster, senior development officer at Grozone, comments: “We’re so thankful to Taylor Wimpey for this very generous donation.
“There’s a great need for this type of session. Often there’s plenty of indoor opportunities available to aid child development, but there’s very little in the way of outdoor activities, so it’s important for us to run these sessions all year round.”
The sessions take place every Monday from 10.30am at The Old Dane Nurseries site, just a short distance from Taylor Wimpey’s Winnington Village development.
With a range of two- to four-bedroom homes still available to purchase through the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme it’s perfect for first-time buyers and families alike.
