Knutsford GROW is a charity serving the Knutsford community through a distinctive gardening service that benefits both local residents and volunteers. Its coordinators arrange help for people in Knutsford who, because of age, infirmity or disability, cannot maintain their gardens themselves or afford paid gardening services. At the same time, the charity offers people of all abilities the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to a practical community project in a supportive setting, with access to training.

GROW’s volunteer team includes able-bodied and disabled people, people with adult learning or mental health difficulties, and people seeking to start or return to work after unexpected life events. The charity has been providing this service for 25 years. Residents who meet its criteria can get in touch to discuss their needs, while prospective volunteers are encouraged to enquire.

The organisation is run by unpaid trustees and volunteers and relies on donations, gifts in wills, regular contributions through its Patrons Collective, and support from local businesses.
