Thanks all for visiting my fundraising page for TWIGS Community Gardens.
In May 2020, I will be running and walking 100 miles to raise money for 2 fabulous charities that help those who really need them when times are tough.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, charities have really taken a hit as fundraising events have been cancelled. In order to keep well needed funds coming in, they rely on individuals holding personal challenges.
I have chosen TWIGS as one of my charities for this challenge as their mission means a lot to me. I have been on their fundraising team for 18 months and have not been able to carry out any fundraising events I have been planning due to the charity being closed due to Coronavirus.
Many people who use TWIGS' services haven't been able to attend the gardens which, to many, is a crucial lifeline to their mental wellbeing. During my challenge, I hope to bring mental health awareness and how getting outside to explore and enjoy nature is incredibly important, especially during these time of uncertainty.
A bit about TWIGS:
TWIGS Community Gardens are a colourful and vibrant set of gardens in the heart of Swindon. They are managed by TWIGS as a resource to give people who experience mental health problems the chance to regain confidence, self-esteem and to learn new skills. The gardens provide plenty of different ideas to take home to your own garden, along with plants and craft goods to enhance it. All monies raised through sales go directly towards funding our service.
