Story
50% of donations for THE GROWING PROJECT - SUPPORTING LOCAL FOOD AND LOCAL WELLBEING AND EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS. This project has helped me and my bipolar journey and so many other people. It is a sustainable, commercially viable veg box scheme, that also supports volunteers who just want to learn about gardening or who have had mental and or physical health problems or disabilities.
If we raise enough money we would also love a compost loo and improve disabled access at least on part of the site to facilitate access and activities for more people with mobility issues (wheelchair access, maybe a taller raised bed or two and some potting tables at varying heights).
50% of donations to the Plymouth and Cornwall Cancer Fund - supporting many aspects of cancer care and family coping services, etc. A local charity where the cancer money stays in Plymouth and SE Cornwall and doesn't get wasted on expensive PR and Marketing administration and offices etc etc!
I know so many people, who have beaten this disease and others who have not. Cancer in it's many forms can be a very cruel disease and treatment options can have awful side effects and beat the cancer completely and more frequently these days.

I have bipolar disorder and have always liked nature, gardening, etc. The Growing Project, volunteering there and the manager of the project have helped me more than anything else, including the CMHT. PCCF use mostly volunteers and only gives money to local cancer charities.
