To give people who experience mental health problems the chance to regain confidence and self-esteem and to learn new skills.

Friends of Twigs' support enables TWIGS to continue to work with approximately 100 people on their journey to recovery.

Friends of Twigs gives financial support to TWIGS (Therapeutic Work In Gardening in Swindon), which provides horticultural and related craft therapy, and to the Olive Tree Café, which provides positive work-related opportunities for people recovering from mental illness - something that affects one in four of us at some time in our lives, directly or indirectly - and helps them move towards well-being, work, training or education. Engaging in these creative activities can change lives.
