This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we’re proud to highlight Leo, a resident of Derventio Housing Trust and participant at Growing Lives, who has shared the positive impact gardening has had on his mental health and confidence. 💚

When Leo first joined Growing Lives, his confidence was low. Today, he is a Peer Support Mentor, helping other residents by organising activities, growing vegetables, and cooking meals to share with others. 🥕🍽️

This week, Leo spoke to BBC Radio Derby about how Growing Lives has supported his mental wellbeing by providing routine, opportunities to be creative, and a calming space through gardening.

Leo said:
“Seeing people smile makes me smile.” 😊

Participants and staff at Growing Lives also took part in the #WearItGreen campaign by wearing green and baking a green cake to show support for Mental Health Awareness Week. 💚
Read Leo’s full story and learn more about how Growing Lives supported the Wear It Green campaign for Mental Health Awareness Week.

Yesterday, the team at Derventio Housing Trust proudly took part in the #Wear It Green campaign for Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

At Derventio, we understand how important positive mental health and wellbeing are in helping people feel supported, connected, and empowered. Wearing green was a simple but meaningful way for our team to show support and help raise awareness of mental health.
