Green Care at Norton

Our project aims to support and bring about positive changes in the lives of adults living with loneliness, unemployment or who are socially excluded through mental illness, learning difficulties or deprivation. Based on three different sites across Hertfordshire, participants work alongside volunteers to grow their own food and flowers. Produce is either:

Taken home for tyhe volunteers own wellbeing Donated to local Food Banks Sold to local businesses or at one of the farms where the volunteers operate

Participants benefit from having a safe and secure place to make friends, learn and develop skills, and enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of getting moving outside.
