Yarm Wellness

Yarm Wellness in North Yorkshire received a National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grant in 2025 to buy a tool-shed, sleepers, trees, plants/shrubs/garden tools.

The project was established in 2022 in the aftermath of covid to respond to growing isolation in the community. The aim was to provide a positive impact on the well being of the wider community though creative sessions, wellness classes and community drop in cafes. They work with various charities to provide a weekly timetable of events; MIND run a weekly men’s health session, Macmillan fun Yoga for people on the cancer pathway, The Royal British Legion support their bi-weekly Veterans breakfast and Red Balloons Charity help support women’s health and bereavement support with peer support groups.

The outside space has three large via duct-arches which provide a fabulous back drop wo the sensory garden, raised beds and the outdoor yoga space.

National Garden Scheme CEO Dr Richard Claxton was able to present Yarm Wellness with their Community Garden Grant plaque when the centre was host to our celebration of £20 million donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
