Garden for Mind - Cultivating health & wellbeing garden
Andover Mind is a local charity for people who experience, or are affected by, mental health distress. We provide a range of services designed to enable people to achieve their individual potential and to participate in society. We also engage with the local community to promote mental well-being and to challenge stigma and discrimination.
The last few years with the covid pandemic and the present financial crisis has emphasised how important nature is for our mental health and wellbeing. In addition, the extreme climate events across the world really highlight the importance of outdoor space and the necessity to work with nature to preserve the natural environment.
I am raising money for Andover Mind so they have the funds to build a new garden to support their service users and the local community across Hampshire. This is such a wonderful project and having experienced both the social and therapeutic benefits of a green space I am keen to help Andover Mind with their "Garden for Mind - Cultivating health & wellbeing garden" project.
I will be training hard and would be delighted if you would either sponsor me or join me on the walk by joining the Andover Mind - Garden for mind team.
