Community Health Partnerships

CHP is thrilled to share that Penntorr Health's Wellbeing Garden won the Collaborative Green Space Project Award at the NHS Forest Awards 2024. This award highlights the significant impact of this project on the health and wellbeing of the local community in Torpoint, Cornwall. The garden's conception, construction, and development involved a fantastic team effort. The garden planted in summer 2023, offers a tranquil retreat for patients, staff, and the wider community. There is a diverse range of plants, picnic areas, and an information board explaining the local plants and wildlife. This achievement aligns with CHP's sustainability goals and the #GreenerNHS initiative. There are more than 30 wellbeing and community gardens at CHP buildings. By supporting green spaces and biodiversity, we contribute not only to a healthier environment but also to the wellbeing of our patients, staff, and local communities. #GreenerNHS #NHSForest Read more: https://buff.ly/3Zdu7aX
