Supporting young people aged 13 – 25 to develop the strategies and confidence to overcome mental health issues through projects based on our own allotment and in other green spaces.
“The allotment has helped me with my confidence and my anxiety. It’s also helped me with my communication skills; it’s easier now to talk to people.” – Amritpal
“I’ve been coming to the allotment since 2018. It’s really helped with my mental health, especially in 2020, when I wasn’t able to leave the house due to Covid. It helped me to stop having negative thoughts. It’s nice to be outdoors and keep busy.” – Stephen, 25
