Experiences of Bridewell
The staff are wonderful, caring and always supportive. The garden is so peaceful and a beautiful place to be. It gave me joy seeing what we can achieve.
Former Gardener
19 months
My key worker was extremely good at listening, advising, including me into the group at my pace and understood when I needed space or time to talk or a push in the right direction
Former Gardener
1 year 6 months
Bridewell gave me a much needed structure twice a week and an oasis free from past, negative associations.
Former Gardener
2 years
Bridewell made me realise I am talented, a fast learner and have a very creative side and people enjoy seeing the crafts I create.

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 is less than 50% of Bridewell's running costs.
Every year, Bridewell meets the 50% gap in funding thanks to the support of our local community, businesses and individuals, trusts and foundations.
