Last week while volunteering at Goonown Growers CIC, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kathy, who supports wellbeing and social prescribing through the community farm.![]()

In this short video, Kathy explains the importance of the Friday volunteer community day, where people from all walks of life come together to spend time outdoors, grow organic food, and reconnect with nature.![]()

For many, this isn’t just about gardening.![]()
It’s about community, belonging, and improving wellbeing.![]()

Social prescribing is becoming an increasingly important part of how we support people’s health - recognising that connection, purpose, fresh air, and meaningful activity can be just as powerful as traditional interventions.![]()

At Goonown Growers, that support happens naturally through service. Volunteers work together on the land, share food, talk, laugh, and help something good grow.![]()

It was inspiring to hear how these Friday sessions are helping people feel more connected - both to themselves and to the wider community.![]()

🌿 If you’d like to support this wonderful initiative, you can also buy their organic produce every Saturday at Lemon Quay Market in Truro. Come down today. 8.30am-4pm![]()
