Parkinson’s UK Info Event

Grow East Anglia at the Parkinson’s UK Information Event

Grow East Anglia were delighted to be part of the Parkinson’s UK Info Event yesterday—a fantastic day of connection, learning, and community spirit.

We joined a wide range of brilliant organisations including Citizens Advice Diss and Thetford, Rural Coffee Caravan, DanceEast, Archery GB, Milestone Fitness, Active Suffolk, Active Lives, and Wooden Roots African Drumming, all working to support health, wellbeing, and social connection in our region.

At our stall, we enjoyed chatting to visitors about the work we do at our community allotment—growing food for those in need, offering volunteering opportunities, and helping people feel more connected to nature and each other. We brought along a selection of homegrown herbal teas to share (lemon balm was especially popular!) and had some lovely conversations swapping gardening tips and plant care ideas.

It was inspiring to meet so many people committed to making a difference—whether through fitness, creativity, advice, or a welcoming cuppa—and we’re proud to be part of such a vibrant local network.

Thanks to Parkinson’s UK for organising such a meaningful event. We look forward to many more collaborations!
