Here at Wycombe Wanderers Foundation, we strive to help our community and understand the huge demand for mental health recovery and prevention projects.

Our Keep Moving Forward Allotment Sessions give participants the opportunity to meet a friendly group of people who are all on a recovery journey.

The all-inclusive and supportive gardening sessions help people learn how to grow all different type of fruit, vegetables and plants, as well as help with jobs such as sowing seeds, watering plants, weeding, laying slabs, painting sheds, and undertaking other tasks that improve the allotment space for all who use it.

In addition to the above, participants also benefit from being outdoors and staying active, both of which are proven to improve mental wellbeing.

The allotment sessions take place every Wednesday in High Wycombe from 11:30am – 1:00pm and are delivered in partnership with The Community Grow Project.

There is no need to book in advance, you can simply turn up on the day, and there is no cost to take part.

Wycombe Wanderers Foundation recognise that physical activity can play an important role in the lives of people facing mental health challenges. We also recognise that there can be certain barriers faced by those facing mental health challenges when it comes to participating in sessions such as this. Therefore, should you have any questions or concerns prior to attending, please feel free to email Luke Godfrey on luke.godfrey@wwfc.com or alternatively call us on 01494 455736.
