We had wonderful corporate volunteers from Aitken Turnbull recently who achieved so much more than we anticipated! They treated our outdoor furniture, barrowed compost, and gave us invaluable advice regarding the repairs of our Lean To area. Thank you for all of your hard work💪

We want to make some noise for the wonderful Phoenix Group who volunteered in the garden 🎉🎉🎉

They painted: the shed, benches, plots, trellis, the archway and the bridge. As well as some stubborn weeding. All these tasks have helped us enormously to get the garden ready for the Winter. It has been a real boost for our Trainees and the staff team.

It was a real pleasure to have the volunteers in the garden. They brought with them lots of positivity and energy as well as a 'can do' attitude! We are so grateful to them and totally agree that they are

This wonderful transformation really helps to visualise the mental health journey. Some days can feel overwhelming and sometimes we just need a helping hand to find our path. Our Trainees never fail to impress us with their hard work🌳

We are delighted to inform you that Redhall was able to secure the majority of its funding following the decision of the EIJB and can remain open🎉 We would like to say a huge thank you to each and every person who supported our cause by signing the Thrive petition and by contacting their local MPs/ MSPs and Councillors; we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received and are truly grateful.

We will continue our task to raise funds for our amazing garden to ensure we have the finances to sustain its future.

This summer, we campaigned to prevent the closure of Redhall Walled Garden following proposed funding cuts.

Today, we received confirmation from the Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board (EIJB) that the decision to cut Redhall’s funding has been overturned. Redhall will remain open — a huge relief — but like many community mental health services across Edinburgh, it will still face a significant funding reduction.

Reacting to the news, our Chief Executive Billy Watson said:

"We are in a mental health crisis, and community and preventative mental health support is an essential part of how we tackle it. We welcome the IJB's decision not to go ahead with the original proposals which would have effectively ended that support in Edinburgh. However, we are disappointed that a number of impactful support and advocacy services have been cut.

"This process has shown that we need to come together - funders, providers and especially the people who need this support - to jointly design a mental health system that works for and meets the needs of the people of Edinburgh."

If you signed our petition, attended a bake sale, or contacted your local representative, thank you! Your support helped us put pressure on the EIJB and protect this vital service.

We’ll continue to take action to ensure services like Redhall Walled Garden can support everyone who needs them.
