Growing Well are 20 years old! We have supported thousands of local people to improve their mental health and support their recovery through practical, meaningful activity on our organic farms. Join us this year to celebrate and fundraise.

Story

Growing Well are a Cumbrian based mental health charity who provide support to individuals struggling with some aspect of their mental health through practical, meaningful activity in their horticultural enterprises.

Beneficiaries attend for one day per week for up to a year and leave equipped with new learning and skills and better able to manage their own mental wellbeing on an ongoing basis.

They receive no statutory funding and as a Charity have to fundraise all of their running costs.

In 2023 Growing Well opened their second site in Tebay and in 2024 added a third site in Egremont to complement their original site in Kendal ensuring that no individual in Cumbria is more than one hour away from being able to access their unique support.

This will be my 10th marathon! I’m training hard. We all have our mental health battles and this charity really resonates with me.
