What we do

Our shop in Blackwood High Street, is a social enterprise where we sell unique gifts for the garden and home. We also sell plants, produce and products from across the Growing Space projects in Gwent.

The shop provides an opportunity for people with mental health, autism or a functioning learning disability to learn retail skills in a working shop. Participants can refer into our No More Barriers project for support with volunteering or employment, and gain a placement at this shop, or other opportunities across Growing Space and other organisations across Gwent. Placements are supported by a member of the team. The shop gives an opportunity to develop customer service skills and qualifications.

Who do we support

Participants with mental health, autism or a learning disability.

We also provide opportunities for volunteering within our projects across Gwent.

Quotes from our participants:

Attending Growing Space gets me "out of the house and feeling safe”.
