If you’re feeling depressed, anxious or finding everyday life difficult, then we may be able to help.

Growing Well re-opened to volunteers on Monday June 22 as part of a phased re-opening. Visitors are discouraged and by appointment only. We are accepting new referral inquiries again on 07903 013648 or email info@growingwell.co.uk.

Testimonials
I think it just brings you out of your illness because you spend so much time in your head, cut off from the world…you step out of your own problems and out of your own head and see the world again!
I was able to do something… I had things to offer… It made me feel valued.
And that’s what Growing Well does so well, it makes you feel valued, even if you don’t feel valuable.

Growing Well had faith in my abilities when I didn’t and have allowed me to grow and develop my role throughout my recovery. Their patience is endless but thanks to them, my illness is not.

I am really seeing how ill I was over the last five years. I do feel things have changed… Growing Well was fundamental to it.
