Our projects
What we do
Ashes to Gold runs six projects, each helping people in a different way. Whether you need someone to talk to, a reason to get out of the house or a place to learn something new, there’s something here for you.

Community groups
Is your group looking for somewhere to visit?
Many of our sites are used by community groups, including adult disability charities, older people’s groups, schools and youth organisations. Our activities are shaped around what each group needs: gardening, horticultural therapy, growing and cooking food, woodworking, nature walks and environmental learning.
Because these are private sites, we ask groups to get in touch first, and we can’t welcome unannounced visitors.
