Thanks to the Give Local campaign and match funding from Heart of Bucks, every donation from £5 to £50 will be doubled, up to £5,000. This is a fantastic opportunity to make twice the difference for the people we support. Thank you for your support!

Closes 22/11/2026

We provide day opportunities, primarily for adults with learning disabilities - our 'Members'. Our Members, staff and volunteers work together as a team, having fun and learning about horticulture. Together, we grow plants and produce to nurture and maintain our 10 Acre home at Missenden Abbey.

Story

Missenden Walled Garden supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs through Social Therapeutic Horticulture - purposeful work, learning, friendship and community. Demand keeps rising and we are growing from 24 to 28 members a day. Thanks to the King Cullimore Charitable Trust, we have funded a key new support role to make this growth safe. Give Local would help us do something different: build a wider base of local people who give to our day-to-day work. Council fee uplifts are not keeping pace with staffing and running costs, so community giving is vital to our long-term sustainability and reduces our reliance on grants. £10,000 of matched funding would help sustain the sessions and support that make each day safe, structured and meaningful, so members keep building skills, confidence and a sense of belonging, and families and carers keep the support they rely on.
