Instead of sending Christmas cards to each other in the office this year we would like to support a local charity and donate to them instead.

Growing Well is a farm-based Mental Health charity near Kendal. We provide a safe supportive working environment to nurture mental health recovery. We work with people on a weekly basis, sometime over years, to help rebuild a sense of purpose, to engage in meaningful and fulfilling activity and to build hope for the future.

When people leave us, they have learnt the skills to manage their mental health, reduce their reliance on health services, but know how to access help if they need it. For many people, recovery is a lifelong journey.
