Join Cultivating Change Engaging Communities in Gardening & Growing to support Mental Health

Mental health issues are at crisis levels in the UK, with 1 in 6 children experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition and only 1 in 3 receiving the support they need.

At Cultivating Change (charity no 1199282), we are tackling this crisis head-on. As one of the UK's leading charities using gardening and growing to support mental health, we empower individuals and communities through nature. Based in Cambridge, we supported over 100 schools, 50 community groups and 40 charities nationwide, last year alone. Our Cultivate & Educate and Cultivating Change in the Community programmes provide hands-on gardening experiences, seed donations, workshops, and resources to schools, charities, and healthcare settings.

100% of our participants last year reported a positive impact on their well-being.
