Our Impact
We are excited to share the highlights from our 2025 Impact Report with you. If you’d like to read the full details, please find (download) the report here.
"I love the gardens, the people, the reason why the gardens exist and what the garden grows...it's plants, fruits, vegetables and people! It's a magical place. It's inclusive, supportive, incredibly well organised and much enjoyed by so many grateful participants."
"If you attend CWG, you will be welcomed, included and accepted, I didn't realise the importance of that until I realised I was crying when I wrote it."
2025 was a year of growth, connection and community
The Community Wellbeing Garden proudly celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025. This year also marked our transition to a registered charity (CIO), with a new Board of Trustees and leadership team ensuring the garden remains inclusive, collaborative and genuinely community led. More than 30 volunteers and a small dedicated part-time staff team helped make our work possible.
