We are Garwood
We provide a range of services to amazing people with a variety of disabilities including education, therapies, activities and residential care. We create safe spaces for everyone to explore what they can do and allow their abilities to shine through.
Our mission
Our mission is to enable people living with and affected by disability to the fullest lives they can. We do this through offering residential services, day activities, education, a summer and Saturday club, and a carers’ support group. Our services are located in south London.
In everything we do, every activity we run, every lesson we share our focus is always on what CAN be achieved. We believe that all our students, residents and service users have the ability to lead fulfilled lives, we just need to enable them to do that. Our ethos has always been to create a safe, warm environment where every ability shines.
How can you help?
Space to thrive
With custom learning pathways for every ability to shine, one of our bespoke offers is aqua therapy in a thermoneutral hydrotherapy pool. This means that the water doesn’t affect the core body temperature improving circulation and muscle relaxation. Not only do our students benefit therapeutically from cardiovascular, muscular, or skeletal points, there is also a noted reduction in pain levels and students can access all areas of the curriculum whilst in the hydro pool. Because of this the hydro pool is an ideal learning environment. It allows for a person with PMLD to be free and independent with truly minimal hands-on assistance.Â
Get involved!
Whether you can offer to run an activity session at Bramley Hill Day Centre, want to volunteer in one of our charity shops or would just like to lend a hand with the upkeep of our gardens – we are always delighted to hear from you.
