We are the charity for everyone’s mental health. With prevention at the heart of what we do, we aim to find the sources of mental health problems and the solutions.

Mindfulness is part of the Mental Health Foundation’s strategy for a fresh emphasis on prevention, focusing on solutions that work and have impact. Mindfulness has come a long way since we first started advocating people to Be Mindful in 2010, however the need for more active investment in preventing mental health problems remains. Our aim is to help ensure that all those who would benefit from it have access to good quality mindfulness courses.

Bridewell is a mental health recovery service. We provide social and therapeutic horticulture in a working garden to adults living in Oxfordshire. Our goal is to help people into jobs or voluntary roles out in the wider community.

Bridewell runs a structured day with service users (gardeners) engaged in activities around the garden supported by Social and Therapeutic Horticultural Practitioners and volunteers.
