What it Costs Us
It costs HighGround £92 to deliver one 30-minute session of Horticultural Therapy at DMRC Stanford Hall. This includes salaries, insurance and staff training. All infrastructure costs are met by DMRC. At our current capacity we have agreed to deliver 25 sessions per week for 50 weeks of the year.
Our supporters
We raise all the annual budget for delivering the Horticultural Therapy service ourselves, and in February 2020 we were delighted to receive a donation from the Headley Court Charity which will help us to secure the future of the Horticultural Therapy service at Stanford Hall.
Our fundraising challenge continues and we are so grateful to all those whose generous support makes it possible for us to deliver the Horticultural Therapy service for DMRC’s patients.

What DMRC Stanford Hall patients are saying about HighGround’s HT service
“I think Horticultural Therapy returns humans to a natural state. We are made to feel the soil and grow food.”
“It has helped me make contacts and focus on my own enjoyment.”
“It has hugely helped to improve my cognitive and mental abilities. I have also found it to be very beneficial to my mindfulness and mental well-being. I have also learnt a lot of things that I will take away with me.”
“This has been a thoroughly beneficial part of my therapy and I really cannot recommend it enough.”
