It is such a very special place, and that doesn't happen by accident. Your hard work, and genuine care for all the gardeners, shines through.

[Bridewell] is so well organised. So much work goes on behind the scenes with planning.

I don't know how you do it - but the care, encouragement, support and reassurance you give is second to none.

I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Bridewell. So keep doing what you're doing and here's to many, many more years of your wonderful work.

How your donation will help
Here are a few examples of what your support can achieve:
- £25 pays for blacksmithing materials for two weeks
- £100 pays for fuel to run the minibus for one month
- £600 services all garden tools for one year
- £1,200 covers the cost of compost for new plants for one year
Donation of materials & expertise
We hugely value gifts of 'things' or 'expertise' which we would otherwise have to source for the smooth running of our recovery service such as:
- terracotta plant pots or compost
- expertise with fence mending
- expertise with dry stone walling
- help with garden design work and planning
How we are funded
Bridewell Gardens is commissioned to provide a recovery service as part of the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership, funded by Oxford Health NHS Foundation. The value of this contract covers about 40% of Bridewell's running costs.
Every year, Bridewell meets the 60% gap in funding thanks to the support of our local community, businesses and individuals, trusts and foundations.
