Purpose | P3 charity have had an allotment plot at Swanwick for eight years. It’s a peaceful spot in the middle of the Derbyshire countryside, open to clients, staff and volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The aim is to give anyone who needs it the chance to improve their mental wellbeing, whether that’s getting stuck in with a spade, or just relaxing and enjoying being outdoors. |
Services | Grow It is an allotment project used to provide a working and learning environment to improve mental wellbeing, general health and build confidence. In addition to the benefits of physical and mental health, people are building social networks which provide opportunities to develop skills and boost self esteem, they are keen to come to the allotment and have said they have a sense of purpose- a reason to get out of the house and meet people. Our activities include: Planting, growing, harvesting and eating the produce we have grown. Increasing knowledge and skills in gardening, environmental sustainability and green issues. Promoting the benefits of our project to help reduce stigma and enhance social inclusion. Learning sessions and accredited qualifications. Volunteer opportunities |
