Community Garden
East Hoathly Community Garden has become an important focal point for some of the Tinkers clients and they really look forward to their weekly visits. They are learning a multitude of new skills and gardening knowledge and making solid friendships along the way.
Wilf The Hub Therapy Dog
This is Wilf, he comes into the HUB 2-3 times a week and is a therapy dog. He has a very gentle nature and is an amazing companion for our clients. They love having him and taking him out for walks. At Tinkers Hatch we recognise the positive impact pets/animals can have on the wellbeing emotional health and companionship to our clients. They can reduce loneliness, provide emotional support and encourage physical activity. However, it is equally as important to ensure the presents of animals/pet does not compromise the safety health and wellbeing of clients, staff and visitors, therefore we ensure all policies risk assessments and legality is upheld. For more information visit Canine Concern where Wilf is registered.
