We'd love to hear from you - nature awaits!
As we come to the end of Mental Health Awareness week we wanted to share with you the news that Grow will be taking part in the Walking Out of the Darkness walk taking place on Brighton and Hove seafront on Sunday 24th June. Walking Out of the Darkness is a unique mental health awareness and suicide prevention event which brings together mental health charities, members of the public, schools universities and businesses and local authority councillors etc to walk and talk together with the aim of raising awareness of mental health challenges, and to raise money for local charities – like Grow. There are several events all over the country including this one in Brighton on 24th June. The walk is approx. 9 miles and goes from Hove Lawns along the seafront to the marina and back.
We’d love you to support us if you can in any of the following ways:
Walk with us
If you’d like to walk with us you will need to register with Walking Out of the Darkness here:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brighton-sunday-24-june-2018-tickets-42716562388
When you click on this link it will ask you if you want to sign up as an individual or Team. IF you type Grow in the Team Name it should hopefully appear and you can add your name to be part of the Grow Team.
There is a £10 registration fee which does not go to Grow but goes to Walking Out of the Darkness to pay for the costs of putting on the event.
Once you have registered you will receive a free t-shirt in the post which we will customise on the day to show that you’re walking for Grow
You can then start sharing the fundraising link below with your friends and family and getting them to sponsor you for the walk.
If you do register could you please drop us an email at info@growingwellbeing.org.uk to let us know you’ll be getting involved so we can let you have any last minute details etc.

If you'd like to come on the Grow Winter Warmer Fundraising walk and Open Day on 30th December we'd love to see you and there are still places left.
We'll be meeting at the National Trust Information Trailer at Devil's Dyke car park and there will be a choice of guided walks to Saddlescombe Farm led by National Trust volunteers setting off at 11am and 12.15pm.
For non-walkers there will be a minibus shuttle from Devils Dyke to Saddlescombe Farm at 11.30 and 12.30
At the farm we'll be serving homemade soup and bread baked in the outdoor clay oven. There will be chances to try out green woodworking and whittling, skittles, some creative activities and the opportunity to learn all about Grow and what we do.
It's the perfect antidote to Christmas over-indulgence!! Come along, get outside, feel better and help raise money for Grow.
Registration can be done online here or at the National Trust Info trailer on the day. Price is £10 (£5 concessions - over 60, under 16, on benefits, students or Grow members) and for groups of 4 booking together the £5 concession rate applies to everyone.
