At last we can announce that we have been awarded £250,727 from Reaching Communities National

Lottery for the Growing Hope project: Women supporting and empowering each other to sustain recovery from addiction through gardening, food-production, creativity, marketing and distribution.

The women will maintain and

expand an existing market garden at the rewilded farm on the East Durham Coast. A new sensory and apothecary garden will be developed to grow herbs and plants for teas, tinctures, and wellbeing products.

#GrowingHope blends recovery, creativity, and nature #connection, gardening, food, growing, herbalism, craft-making, and running the mobile #HopeBox to share and sell produce. There will also be workshops, community seasonal celebrations, and learning sessions focused on well-being, enterprise, and sustainable living. #WomenOnly #Nature #Growing #Rewilding #Connection #AddictionRecovery #TraumaHealing #Hope #TinasHaven living legacy
