Sunbeam Garden

Home > Sunbeam Garden

The Trust has set up this page to share information on the discussions taking place about the Sunbeam Garden and the new hospital. 

There is a lot of work needed to get the site ready to build the hospital, some of which will affect the garden. The garden is very precious to everyone who has a connection to it, and to our Airedale Hospital community. We want to work with people who have a connection to the garden to find the best solution for maintaining this important place. 

Two locations on the Airedale Hospital site have been identified as potential new sites for the garden to move to and for families to decide which would be the best option.    

The Sunbeam Support Group is supporting families to come to a decision on which site they prefer by the end of August. Please click here to read their message about this and how to vote for your preferred site.

To help with this, the Trust’s architects have provided some information about the potential sites which you can read below. Or you can view this side by side comparison of the two sites.

Working with you to shape plans 

We asked an independent group called All About People (www.allaboutpeople.org.uk) to host some sessions with parents and families connected to the Sunbeam Garden to explore how people wanted to work with the Trust to secure the future of the garden as the site develops over the next few years.

These meetings were an opportunity for people who use and value the garden to get involved in deciding how decisions should be made about the future of the Sunbeam Garden, how people should be involved, what support might be needed, and to start planning the future for the garden.

Below is the final report from All About People. Thank you to everyone who helped in the development of this report. Also below is the initial response from the Trust relating to the recommendations in the report.
