Grow Purple for World Mental Health Day

We mark World Mental Health Day each year with our Go Purple campaign, as an opportunity to raise awareness and fight stigma around mental ill-health in our communities, instead promoting positive ways to support mental health and improve wellbeing.

This year for Go Purple we decided to head back to nature and GROW Purple, as October is the perfect time of year to plant spring flowering bulbs, so they can develop roots before the harsher winter season. Crocuses are associated with new beginnings and symbolize the HOPE found in fresh starts, so we have chosen this bulb as what to plant for GROW purple.

So this October why not DIG, DONATE and watch HOPE grow with your family, school or in your workplace?

A donation of just £20, or whatever you can afford, could help purchase materials to support our clients taking part in gardening sessions, this autumn, which should bring shoots of HOPE come spring. Can you DIG, DONATE and watch HOPE grow with your family, school or in your workplace?
