MindFood

MindFood is based in Ealing, supporting adults who are often socially isolated with their mental health. We teach food-growing, gardening and other mindful nature-based activities from two green sites in Ealing Cleveley Crescent near Hanger Lane tube station and Horsenden Hill near Perivale tube station, and also virtually online. Using the restorative benefits of nature to calm the mind, empowering people to create a lasting difference to their emotional and physical wellbeing in a safe place, free from discrimination.

Our vision is that better mental health is accessible for all. It’s our mission to improve wellbeing by connecting people with nature. We aim to meet individual needs through adaptive programmes and ongoing support, increasing knowledge and understanding of how to protect and maintain mental health. We are person centred and nature focused. These values underpin everything that we do.

All our facilitators are experts by experience, having lived through mental health challenges themselves, being past participants of MindFood who have retrained to become part of the team. Providing an unrivalled level of empathy to anyone attending a MindFood course.
