We are extremely grateful and delighted to to have received Lottery Funding for a 3-year eco-therapy project, named ‘Flourish’. The project will be led by Forty Hall Vineyard in partnership with Forty Hall Farm and will bring together a range of volunteering options at the farm and vineyard.
The project seeks to ensure that the benefits of volunteering at Forty Hall Farm and Vineyard are open to all and will offer support at all the volunteering sessions but will also undertake outreach work to make contact with referring agencies locally working with people with mild to moderate mental health support needs.
The project is an extension of the support that we currently offer and will involve eco-therapy support and a monthly volunteer–led social lunch club using surplus farm vegetables and our newly restored cob oven!
As part of the project we will be developing our links with refugee and asylum seeker communities and with women’s groups locally. We hope to be able to invite groups to experience the vineyard and farm during ‘taster’ sessions on specific Wednesday afternoons during the year., offering well-being classes.
If you are an individual or organisation interested in partnering with Forty Hall Vineyard on this project please email enquiries@fortyhallvineyard.com
