🌱 Come and see what we’ve been growing! 🌱

We’re opening up our Headspace outdoor wellbeing spaces for a relaxed afternoon for young people, families and our local community.

📅 Saturday 26 September
⏰ 2–4pm
📍 The Springvale Allotments, GL54 2ES

Come along to explore the allotments, see the improvements we’ve been making and find out more about how we use these spaces to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people across the North Cotswolds.

There’ll be fun activities for the whole family, refreshments and a warm Headspace welcome. 💜🌿

It’s also a chance to meet some of the Headspace team and discover how gardening, growing, outdoor activities and simply spending time in nature can make a real difference to the young people we support.

Everyone is welcome – bring the family and drop in anytime between 2pm and 4pm.

Please share and help us spread the word! 🌻
