Volunteers needed at garden charity

Straddling the Forest Hill/Sydenham border. Extract below is from a longer job description. I volunteer there already. Happy to share more by PM.

Growing Lives is a Therapeutic Market Garden project based on a one acre site right in the heart of Lewisham - a London borough with one of the highest rates of mental ill health.

Drawing on our 12 years of experience we will help over 30 people suffering from mental ill health and improve their confidence, well-being, self-esteem and career prospects as they pass through the programme each year.

We will also give our clients (co-workers) the opportunity to work towards Open College Network qualifications which will further increase confidence, self-esteem and employability.

As well as improving community links through our workshops, open days and community workdays, we also hope to help make it easier for people to eat a healthy diet by supplying fresh and naturally grown produce to local markets and through a veg box scheme.
