Mires Beck has been a registered charity since 1994. They provide work experience and social therapeutic horticulture for adults who live with the challenges of learning difficulties, Autism and physical disabilities at a 14 acre nursery and conservation site in East Yorkshire. Exposed to the benefits of the natural rural environment on which the nursery sits, their work with services users enriches lives with improvements in their physical and social abilities. Over the last 25 years they have grown to supporting 100 adults weekly through their adult day service and commercial enterprise and they are still growing.
Green Therapy is an increasingly recommended route for many people in our society and Mires Beck are proud to be able to offer an exemplary standard in this area. Their reach to the community is broad and many people benefit from time spent visiting the nursery. They continue to share the benefits of Mires Beck with many volunteers and are working to be recognised as a location for thier local community for Social Prescribing.
