About

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council awarded a contract to Creative Support for a gardening service to assist vulnerable tenants in Dudley.

The service supports young and vulnerable residents to access training, develop skills, and gain a horticulture qualification by delivering gardening services to vulnerable people.

It operates as a partnership between Dudley Housing Services and Creative Support, with the council promoting the service and referring qualifying council tenants.

Creative Support recruits and deploys supervised trainees—young people or individuals with learning disabilities or poor mental health from the Dudley Borough—who receive structured training and support to improve employability.

The contract has TUPE implications and is valued at AUD 550,000.
