The Wildlife Garden at Glasgow West End After School Care, a Sensory Space project featuring a garden, has officially opened in Glasgow with a generous grant of £10,000 from Wooden Spoon Edinburgh. This project, aimed at creating an engaging outdoor environment where children can explore nature and develop sensory skills, is set to have a lasting impact on the local community.

Glasgow West End After School Care

Glasgow West End After School Care provides a safe and enriching environment where children are collected from school and brought to the centre for adventure-filled after-school experiences. The service focuses on play, social interaction, and personal development, ensuring children have a welcoming space to learn and grow.

A New Sensory Wildlife Garden

This new wildlife garden, which opened in March 2025, offers a calm and stimulating outdoor space designed to encourage sensory exploration and hands-on learning. The garden features natural elements, plants, and interactive areas, helping children connect with nature while fostering wellbeing, creativity, and relaxation.

The garden project was generously funded by a Wooden Spoon Charity grant. Wooden Spoon supports Glasgow West End After School Care’s dedication to providing inclusive, nurturing spaces that enhance children’s development and overall wellbeing.
