Community grow your own scheme

We believe than among the main health benefits of such would include; increased opportunities for physical activity, improved mental health and well being and the increased availability of fresh food. We also hope that by working together and in partnership with health organisations involved in both the mental health and disability sectors it could help to reduce the stigmatisation and isolation that both those sufferig with mental health conditions and those with disabilities can feel.
