Derventio Housing Trust Growing Lives Project Good News Story!

Posted on: 05 Oct 2023

In September 2023, our partners at the Growing Lives Project took participants on a trip to Mount Cook Adventure Centre with funding from the Mental Health Small Grants Scheme.

They took part in a range of activities including archery, karting and zip wire.

It was an opportunity to spend time outdoors and develop team working skills, build their confidence and improve their physical health and wellbeing.  Everyone who took part had a great time and feedback from participants was really positive.

If you would like more information on how to attend the Growing Lives Project, you can find contact information and can read more about the project on the GRID website’s Recovery Projects page -
