The Pathway Garden

Having a show garden at Chelsea provides an invaluable opportunity to raise awareness of the catastrophic impact of homelessness on health and the huge obstacles people experiencing homelessness face in getting the healthcare they desperately need. It enables us to reach more people, spreading the word about our vital work to help the NHS meet the health and care needs of some of the most vulnerable people in society, to save lives, and support people out of homelessness. And with people facing homelessness so often excluded and stigmatised in our society, their involvement in a garden at the very heart of the British social calendar means a lot to us. 

Support us

Help us turn this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show into lasting change for people experiencing homelessness.
Making a regular donation is one of the most effective ways to show your support and commitment. A donation of just £10 per month helps us to plan for the future and ensures we can continue working with the NHS to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
If you’d like to make a larger donation or talk to us about becoming a corporate partner, we’d love to hear from you. Email us at info@pathway.org.uk.  

After Chelsea

Following the show, the garden will be permanently relocated to the Shekinah Centre in Plymouth, a community-based day centre supporting people experiencing homelessness. Pathway has an expert homelessness team at Plymouth Hospital who work very closely with the centre to help people move out of homelessness to better health. We’re excited that the garden will become part of those journeys – providing a restorative, tranquil place of rest and sanctuary for patients, staff and the community.
