After discussions with local councillors a decision has been made I could use the Charles Burrell grounds to create a community allotment which people with or without mental health issues can come and learn to grow their own healthy food, not only this but it brings back a sense of community spirit, I believe it would boost people’s confidence and allow people to meet new likeminded people in an environment where no one is judgemental. With all of the food grown I intend to run a project inside the Charles Burrell centre where people can come and learn to cook healthy food options from the food we have all grown ourselves on site as I’ve found that a lot of people don’t have the ability or knowledge on how to cater for themselves also any further excess food can be distributed through the local food bank also located in the Charles Burrell centre. he funding for the garden project would purchase all the necessary equipment to run an allotment from tools to greenhouses and fencing etc. Also security equipment will need to be up and running. With some more of the money raised I would like the chance to have a positive input and make a significant difference to people’s lives through Art Therapy In 2016 I got sent to prison, and whilst there discovered a creative side to my personality. I learnt the art of origami I find creating these works very therapeutic and it keeps me focused. I want to be able to teach others the art over social media and in community groups around Thetford. with the funding I would purchase all the necessary tools equipment and materials needed to hold these art sessions
I intend for this to be a continuous awareness project that I would like to continue in the future
