If you’d like to get involved with Growing Well, learn all about horticulture from our professional team, meet new people, and enjoy a healthy, active day working outside in a beautiful setting, then why not try a Community Volunteering day at one of our sites. Growing Well is a farm-based mental health charity originating near Kendal in South Cumbria, and with sites in West Cumbria and at Tebay Services. The horticultural context is key to our charity as it provides a safe, supportive working environment to nurture mental health recovery for those people experiencing moderate to severe mental illness. Growing Well works with people on a weekly basis to help rebuild a sense of purpose, to engage in meaningful and fulfilling activity and to build hope for the future. These non-therapeutic days are currently on Fridays each week and can be attended weekly or just as a drop-in opportunity.
