Gaskell Garden Project

A permaculture & human rights project which helps refugees meet needs they are prevented from meeting themselves, through gardening, sports, workshops & more!

[Gaskell Garden Project @GaskellGarden]

The Gaskell Garden Project aims to help refugees in Manchester meet needs they struggle to themselves, and we want to become a charity! First, though, we need to raise an ambitious £5000! All proceeds go to our Sponsorship Project. Please RT and donate:

In a Randomized Cluster Trial, South et al. (2018) found greening vacant land in cities reduced depression by 40% and improved mental health by 60%. If this was a drug, it'd be a huge craze! Now imagine the patients gardened as well!

Our great friend Barly had the amazing opportunity to speak with @ReutersUK while at the #wfc2018 semi-finals last week! Thank you for giving a platform to our friend to speak about the Congo and what @conifaofficial meant to him!

Last week, we supported 3 asylum seekers to travel to London to watch the @CONIFAOfficial world cup #wfc2018. "You made my dreams come true" is how Adel from North Iraq described it. Please help us do more like this by donating to our crowdfunder at https://t.co/LOJYDPRQZr

[Gaskell Garden Project @GaskellGarden]

Now we are home and relaxed, we'd like to say a massive thank you to @CONIFAOfficial for your hospitality and generous donation of 5 VIP tickets for the semi-finals of #wfc2018 last week, allowing us to bring 3 asylum seekers to watch football and be happy!
