Our West Cumbrian site officially launched yesterday. A great day to thank funders and contributors of all sizes, including major funders @NDAgovuk @TNLComFund @HeritageFundUK @CumberlandCoun & Copeland Community Fund, our major partners on the project. 🌱
It was a privilege to welcome MP @DanielZeichner and @JanetHughes to Growing Well yesterday. Food & Rural affairs absolutely encompass community mental health as well as horticulture. We do both, concurrently, and the benefits to individuals and society are huge. 🌱
Wonderful feedback from the fantastic screening of our 🎥 at the stunning #rhegedcentre near Penrith, #cumbria. A panel brilliantly chaired by @CazGraham1 thanks to @MikeBernersLee (& ✨ in the 🎥) Garry Miller , Gavin Lane, @dodgsonwood , @GrowingWell & @DragonLFilms

Do you deliver (or refer to) gardening activities for MH? Please check out this consultation doc. where THSG define 5 types of gardening to match 5 levels of mental health & explore how these can be differentiated thrive.org.uk/files/document… we would really value your feedback! Thnx
This is a huge national issue with lack of MH care, patients spending days in Emergency Departments. Compassion and care only goes so far when stuck in a cubicle for days surrounded by loud noise and no comforts. Huge under resourced area and it is literally killing people ☹️
Fancy a squash? Here's a lovely one grown by @LBFEW charity partner @GrowingWell I saw on sale at Tebay Services on the M6. Fantastic charity, fantastic squash (and that's not a phrase I use every day).
