Enabling people and communities to lead healthier and happier lives by connecting them to nature and each other
Get Growing was launched in July 2020 as a direct response to COVID-19. We provide weekly fresh organic produce to local food banks and community support groups as well as delivering Grow Kits to communities throughout Rother, Hastings and West Kent, supporting and encouraging people and organisations’ to grow their own food no matter what space they have – from windowsill to patio to garden to allotment.
This new project was piloted during 2021. Running two separate weekly groups the aim is to provide support for individuals living in rural communities experiencing social isolation and loneliness and working with West Kent MIND, we aim to provide a safe space for those dealing with mental health issues. Additionally, we hope to offer training and guidance enabling Growing Buddies to go out into the community and help others.
