London Marathon 2022 · 2 October 2022 ·

Veterans’ Growth works with veterans suffering with mental health issues, providing treatment and support using social and therapeutic horticulture. Our approach involves working with plants and gardens to improve physical and mental health, as well as communication and thinking skills.

Story

I've been fortunate enough to participate in a programme, meet and work alongside the amazing people behind Veterans Growth and so having seen and felt the results first hand, I want to give something back to them. 

I suffer with complex PTSD, anxiety and depression. This has stemmed through my work as a police officer. Thankfully Jason and the team opened their doors to police officers earlier this year.

I shall be jogging/walking the 26.2 miles with my best friend Rob who also has had similar issues. We go on the same day as the actual London Marathon but will be leaving from Beachy Head and heading Westfield bound for a pub finish! 

Veterans’ Growth works with veterans suffering with mental health issues, providing treatment and support using social and therapeutic horticulture. The physical and mental health benefits of horticulture have been widely reported. Participants gain confidence, knowledge and experience and some will go on to find work experience and employment within the industry. We are committed to supporting every veteran in the UK who wants to attend and/or is unable to access help through other channels.
