Gardening
Begun in 2017 at The Bustard and expanded to the charity's Riverside and Welsh sites Gul has added gardening to its provision. With input from staff and beneficiaries these gardens will grow to produce food for sale in the community. Growing food teaches us about the natural world and food chains as well as giving immense satisfaction as we eat the delicious produce.
Therapy
Defined as an intervention designed to improve either the physical, mental or emotional well being of an individual. All therapy activities take place under the supervision of the senior team and are regularly reviewed to ensure set goals are met for those attending.

Alternative Education
Gul is referred to by over 70 Schools, Colleges, Councils and other Statutory providers to deliver individual packages of support for young people and adults. Sessions at Gul take place in lots of forms as each person is different but are typically 1:1 or in small groups. This is a sometimes confusing area with lots of contributory factors, if you need advice, about what we can offer either as an individual or as an organisation please contact our team HERE.
The Gul referral process is a simple one, request a from from our office, complete it and return it, our office will then be in touch to arrange a visit to Gul and a chat with one of its therapists. Gul then programmes activities, liaises to discuss funding and set goals to work towards which are regularly reviewed.
