Our success story
WSS ran a Horticultural Therapy course during the beginning of pandemic. The 11 attendees were all people who had suffered from stress, anxiety and depression in their recent lives. Many had held down good jobs in the past, but found themselves unemployed, lonely and lacking in confidence.
Over the 6 week course LM found his confidence returning and he enjoyed meeting other people and learning a practical skill.
6 months later LM took a part time job with a gardening company. One year on in 2021, despite the pandemic, LM is now fully employed and enjoying life both at work and at home. He is now able to help other people at a community allotment to gain practical skills and new friends.
Please help WSS to run more courses like this to help other people out of depression and loneliness and get back into work or a meaningful activity.
