Initiated in January 2003, the Garden Force volunteering project's aim was to create alternative day time occupation and training outside of buildings and into the community.
Most recently Garden Force has secured Ground Maintenance contracts with Hollywood Park in Stockport.
The team has previously worked closely in the past with a local education centre, local hospital, schools, residents and Stockport Council's 'Operation Spring Clean' initiative.
The Cheadle Action Team was developed in partnership with Social Services, Parks and Recreation, Community Services, Stockport Direct Services (now Solutions SK) and District Regeneration Services.
Extending the capacity of the Garden Force Team, the project was initially piloted in Cheadle Village as part of 'District Centre Management' throughout Stockport. The aim was to create a rapid response team to requests from Village residents to tackle 'grot spots' and general repairs, working towards a proactive service.
