A Kent charity is to launch a new gardening group for people affected by bereavement.
Sustainable food education charity Communigrow said it was hoping to train its staff to offer therapy and support, and to also branch out with more gatherings.
Development manager Joshua Piercey said: "It is incredibly important because it’s going to happen to all of us.”
The charity has raised more than £14,000 towards a £17,075 target to run the new group for a year at its hub in East Malling.
As 2024 marked 10 years since Communigrow registered as a charity, it wanted to set up its "first and only crowdfunding campaign".
Mr Piercey said: “We are completely confident that it is going to help people."
