Mental illness is becoming extremely common in today’s world and exists in different forms be it anxiety, depression or other stress-related issues. Mental illnesses affect 19% of the adult population, 46% of teenagers and 13% of children each year. The affected may be in your family, friends, neighbours or even at work. However, less than half of them get the required treatment, commonly due to the stigma attached to mental health.
We, the students of University of Bath, are working with TWIGS Community Gardens, a charity which helps people with mental illnesses through different therapeutic activities, such as crafts, woodwork and gardening, in order to give them the chance to regain confidence, self-esteem and to learn new skills.
! Help us by donating to our cause and make a difference in the lives of those suffering !
We would most grateful for any donation big or small for this great cause!
All donations will be directly forwarded to TWIGS Community Gardens and participants of their therapeutic activities.
