At WAND UK, we believe that gardening is more than planting seeds—it’s about fostering growth, building connections, and nurturing a sense of belonging. Our Green Shots Gardening Group meets once a month, offering a space where community members can come together to learn about gardening, share their experiences, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of working with nature.
Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just curious to give it a try, this group is open to everyone. Join us to develop new skills, share your passion, and contribute to a greener, healthier community.
At WAND UK, we understand the impact loneliness and isolation can have on mental and emotional well-being. Our Befriending Program seeks to reduce these challenges by building meaningful connections within the community.
We actively assess individual needs and match participants with a befriender where possible. Once connected, the befriender and participant communicate regularly, offering companionship, support, and a sense of belonging.
If you’re feeling isolated or would like to volunteer as a befriender, please get in touch with us to learn more or register your interest.
Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community.
