SIG Penrose Roots recognised for its environmental and social impact

SIG Living Countryside AwardsWe’re thrilled to share that the Roots to Recovery Garden at SIG Penrose Roots has been awarded a Highly Commended honour in the Grassroots and Green Shoots category at the CPRE Bedfordshire Living Countryside Awards 2025.

Since 2008, the Living Countryside Awards have celebrated exceptional contributions to Bedfordshire’s communities and natural spaces. This year’s Grassroots and Green Shoots category highlights initiatives that support both people and the planet – and our garden truly shone.

Judges visited our vibrant one-acre site in Luton and were moved by the scale of the project, the passion of our team, and the transformative impact it has on members and the wider community. From therapeutic horticulture to peer-led recovery, Roots to Recovery continues to grow as a space of healing, connection, and hope.
