Friends of Twigs is an independent charity which gives financial and practical support to TWIGS – a mental health project in Swindon.

TWIGS (Therapeutic Work In Gardening in Swindon) provides horticultural and related craft therapy for people recovering from mental illness – something that affects one in four of us at some time in our lives, directly or indirectly.

The project is run by The Recovery Tree Charity and gives people a chance to regain confidence, self-esteem and to learn new skills; this can be transforming: “TWIGS provided a lifeline when my life was filled with despair and hopelessness… I found the space and support I needed to believe that a different future was possible.”
