'Get up and Grow' Ecotherapy Allotment Ipswich (360G-CheshireCF-A570316)
Suffolk Mind ‘Get up and Grow – Ipswich’ provides support to people with mental health problems through a weekly group based on an allotment. With volunteers and a trained mental health facilitator we will deliver weekly 3 hour group sessions for a year on the allotment, open to anyone with a mental health problem, from anxiety or depression right through to enduring mental health problems such as bipolar or schizophrenia. The grant will part fund the salary of the facilitator, volunteer travel expenses, tools and equipment for the plot, seeds and compost for one growing season. The project will support people to improve their mental wellbeing through reducing isolation, being part of a community, increasing their physical exercise outside, having meaning and purpose through attending the group and taking care of the allotment and gaining a sense of achievement.
