Every Saturday 10am to 3pm The Leatherhead Community Garden aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle in it's local community and supports learning of gardening and skills such as woodwork and cookery. The Garden is a community development and grow your own initiative managed and developed by local people and supported by a range of partners from across the public, private and voluntary sectors. The idea is to support residents and organisations from within the local community who wish to learn or take part in growing collectively. There is also a great opportunity for people to mingle and get to know one another.

We support elderly people through two main services. We run a computer course four times a year at the Bfree Youth Cafe in Leatherhead where elderly people who have no experience with computers can come and learn the basics. We also run a Befriending Scheme, which recruits and provides volunteers to visit elderly people in their own homes who are experiencing a sense of isolation and loneliness. If you would like to help support what we do by becoming a volunteer Befriender please get in touch with our Befriending Co-ordinator, Katherine Moore on the number or email address provided.
