Whitby Area Development Trust is developing an overgrown walled garden on the edge of the town to offer gardening and creative activities for local volunteers and service users from partnership charities.
Participants will be able to grow and harvest fruit, vegetables and cut flower beds and help to encourage a rich habitat for pollinators.
We hope this project will help achieve an improvement or levelling of mood and well - being for vulnerable adults by:
- connecting with nature to support physical, emotional and social health
- help to combat loneliness and isolation
- provide meaningful activities and a sense of purpose
- participate together in an inclusive, safe and supportive environment
This is a new project to support vulnerable adults in Whitby and we need help to buy equipment, materials and resources to continue to clear the site, improve the soil and start planting.
