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.
