Community Wellbeing Projects

Spring to Life - Growing Wellbeing

We are involved in several different projects in the community, including the Allotment and Winter Wellbeing chats in Kings Norton, Mother Gardens, Walking in nature, restoration of an orchard in Kings Norton, and Food Forest Brum. We also run a monthly Bereavement Group in Perry Common. We rely on grants to be able to continue these groups. Details of these are found on this page.
Spring to Life is passionate about helping people, which includes helping people to build strong relationships with their families, their friends and their wider communities. Many of our community projects help people to make connections wiht other local people through enjoying being outdoors in nature, and to become involved in planting and growing food to benefit themselves and their community. One user recently commented: It was good to be out of doors, it didn’t feel pressurised. I liked being with other people.
