Chapel Allerton Hospital: £200k to be spent on new garden for patients in Leeds

A hospital in Leeds is set to spend £200,000 on a new garden for patients.

The project, at Chapel Allerton Hospital, has been funded by a grant awarded to Leeds Hospitals Charity. It will transform an old courtyard with new facilities for ‘horticultural therapy’, so that patients can reconnect with nature. The money has come from the Greener Communities Fund, a partnership between environmental charity Hubbub and NHS Charities Together, which is funded by the Starbucks 5p cup charge.
