Why does Growing Well need a new minibus? Rural isolation, and lack of transport, is a key contributor to mental ill health across Cumbria. Mental health challenges in this part of Cumbria are higher than the national average, and they’re getting worse. The new minibus for Tebay will provide safe, door-to-door transport for up to 3,000 people over the next decade. For many beneficiaries, it’s as much a part of their recovery as what happens at Tebay. To find out more and make a donation, go to:
