The Joseph Rowntree Foundation's ‘Seeds of Hope’ celebrates UK communities countering fatalism and tackling mental health and food security through growing
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation and change maker Tayshan Hayden-Smith hosted the ‘Seeds of Hope’ campaign launch event in London, celebrating how community growing, and nature connection can inspire a brighter, more hopeful future.
The campaign launches with new research revealing widespread anxiety about the future and yet a striking belief in the power of green spaces to inspire hope. According to the research, only seven percent of UK adults feel more supported by the government than by their local communities. Tayshan Hayden Smith, founder of Grow to Know and Seeds of Hope launch event host, said: “Community is at the crux of any flourishing society and ecosystem. Understanding one another should be seen as an opportunity for creativity, kindness, and connection - whether that’s on mental health, climate action or food security.”
