It also benefits from grants and donations from national and local charitable trusts, local businesses and individuals. Blackthorn Garden exists to assist individuals (known as co-workers) with a range of mental and physical health conditions, to build or gain confidence and self-esteem and to develop life and work skills. A varied and healthy work community is formed alongside staff and volunteers. The work undertaken in various workshops contributes to recovery and generates income to help sustain the work here. Standards are high, so many customers from the local community value the fruits of this labour. Working the land, living by the seasons, growing plants, preparing good food and serving others in a simple and light-filled environment or expressing their creativity through craft work, offer the conditions that encourage recovery. A respect for all that lives helps cultivate the healthy and responsive side of each person, however ill he or she might be. In such a climate, illness falls into the background and true character shows through, allowing the individual to embrace change and re-engage with the outside world.

Golden Oldies is no longer in receipt of this funding stream.
