Tone, one of our Co-founders, was speaking about the Green Hub at the Women in Chiropractic event this week.
She shared the history of how it all came together from a vision in 2019, and how she was part of building the incredible team who created the Green Hub that we have today.
She talked about the need for support, as the number of teens who are struggling have increased from 1/9 in 2017, to 1/5 in 2023.
Tone also shared how the organisation has grown and become a charity in 2023, with now over 60 volunteers that all work together to offer nature-based therapy sessions for teens, as well as monthly parent support groups in our community.
When she then shared the Green Hub film, the audience had a chance to really see what the two gardens look like and how they have been transformed thanks to the dedication of our volunteers.
Tone says:’ It was really emotional to share the journey that we have collaboratively taken as a group, so we now can offer these sessions to teens and parents. I am so very proud of all our team from our committee to our admin team and the garden volunteers, for working so dedicatedly in order to support teens and families in our community. We now can offer 24 places a week in our 12 week programmes, which is really positive.’
Tone also was given the IMPACT award on the day, for being an exceptional chiropractor, creating impact in the lives of others.
She would like to share this award with her fellow volunteers in the Green Hub. We are also incredibly grateful for the donations made online by Tone’s colleagues, totalling nearly £800. Thank you all for your kindness towards our charity.
