“Fundamentally, we just work with people. Whether our volunteers are mental health referrals, kids or refugees – it doesn t matter. It s always about people.”
“When you get people together doing something with a shared goal, that s where you see benefits,” Wayne explains. “It naturally creates support networks as people make friendships. We give them roles where they feel valued and see that there s a reason for them to be involved. Our volunteers are incredibly talented people that bring real skills to the project.”

Together We Grow, is a CIC located at the Big Garden in High Woods Country Park, Colchester.
