Grow

  • Grow combines coaching with nature-based projects to promote wellbeing, reduce isolation and develop employability

  • Work with vulnerable young people, majority facing mental health difficulties, in Sheffield

  • These young people have often slipped through the net of statutory services and struggling to access much needed support

  • 4 interlinked programmes: Walk & talk > employment induction > gardening work based learning > 1-1 transition coaching

  • 5 year vision for Grow to develop multiple regional hubs that deliver transformational nature based programmes for young people

  • Part of pilot focused on mental health benefits of green social prescribing, funded by gov’t and delivered by Integrated Care Trusts

  • Chimo is funding a new Head of Programming and Impact to help Grow’s growth aspirations

The best conversations occur when young people are working alongside one of our coaches in the garden and are not in an environment that feels too reminiscent of the therapist’s chair
