Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thank you so much for supporting our 20th Anniversary Sponsored Walk, a key event in Growing Well’s birthday celebrations this year, a Mental Health Charity we partner with and support via Westmorland Family at out Tebay Site.

The walk is from our Tebay site to our Low Sizergh site, where it all started 20 years ago. We’ll cover just under 20 miles of fantastic Cumbrian scenery.

Founded as a social enterprise in 2004, over the past two decades Growing Well has been attended by thousands of beneficiaries from across Cumbria and North Lancashire, who have undertaken therapeutic horticultural activities on our kitchen gardens.

Our current data set that proves Growing Well’s structured mental health intervention makes a significant, positive difference to the lives of people experiencing moderate to severe mental health. We continue to grow our data set and enhance our analysis to add weight to this evidence.

More than this, Growing Well’s horticultural context provides tangible benefits to wider communities: strengthening bonds, creating a voice and space for marginalised groups, promoting participation and improving local food chains with our beautiful, organic produce.

Our work improves the health of the landscape and the population.

Thank you for supporting them in any way possible. I will aim to complete the 20 mile walk but need to be transparent and say it will take all I have and donations should be regardless of completion. I will update all that donate on my day.
