Join Growing Well

Many of our beneficiaries are referred to us by local GPs and mental health professionals but it’s really easy to refer yourself. You could be attending Growing Well and working on your mental health recovery within 2 weeks.

Before you enquire about joining Growing Well, make sure you have read our How We Help page so you know what to expect.

If you think Growing Well can help you at our Kendal site at Low Sizergh Farm, our kitchen garden at Tebay Services or new site in West Cumbria please fill in the appropriate online enquiry form below.

If you’d prefer an informal chat first, or have problems completing the form, give us a call:

• Low Sizergh, Kendal – 07903 013 648
• Growing Well at Tebay Services – 07512 316 564
• West Cumbria – 07512 316 568

If you are a GP, health professional or from a referral organisation and wish to refer a patient or client to Growing Well, please go to our Referral Page.

How we help

If you’re feeling depressed, anxious or finding everyday life difficult, then we may be able to help with free effective support for your mental health at our sites at Low Sizergh near Kendal, at Tebay Services or West Cumbria.

If you feel ready to work on your mental health by setting a goal for your recovery and spending time at Growing Well working towards that goal, you can sign up today.

Lots of people are referred to Growing Well by their doctor or by the Community Mental Health Team but you can apply to join yourself (sometimes called ‘self-referring’).

In as little as two weeks from the getting in touch, you can be starting with us here on site, volunteering on our organic vegetable farm at Low Sizergh Farm, our kitchen garden at Tebay Services on the M6, or at our new site in West Cumbria, opening in Spring 2024.

You don’t need a formal mental health diagnosis. If you think you are experiencing mental ill health then we believe that you are the best judge of this. A hot, healthy lunch will be provided for you, free of charge, and your travel expenses can be reimbursed. We also provide free minibus transport on different days to both sites, from various locations in Cumbria and North Lancashire.

The usual length of stay with us is between 6 months and 1 year and we support you in your next steps.
