The Impact of Our Work

Trellis is a small organisation with only 4.6 Full Time Equivalent staff, but we do mighty things with your donations. In the last 12 months we have made a real difference to the lives of thousands of disabled and disadvantaged people, enabling them to garden with the help of practitioners trained and supported by Trellis.
