Wellbeing At Garon Park CIO

Wellbeing At Garon Park CIO provides facilities and services for the local community in Southend to help improve health and well-being.

We supported their community garden which offers residents an outdoor space to meet and enjoy nature.

Being outdoors and getting hands on with plants aids their physical and mental health and also provides engaging volunteering opportunities, especially when they donate grown fruit and vegetables back to the community. Participants have shared how this gives them a feeling of pride, purpose and achievement.
