Growing Well

Who we are

Growing Well is a targeted and specialist mental health intervention.

.

We champion recovery through outdoor activity in our Cumbrian market gardens, offering activity as a powerful alternative or accompaniment to talking therapy.

.

We’re a mental health day service that accepts self-referrals and GP or healthcare referrals from individuals experiencing a level of mental ill health that requires ongoing support. 

.

People come and participate in our organic market gardening activity on one regular day per week, with therapeutic support from trained staff. We offer a range of supported, meaningful activity and training, all based around participatory work on the field.

.

When working with our volunteers (our beneficiaries), we focus on three, vital objectives:

• Building emotional resilience
• Developing life skills
• Supporting healthier, more active living
