Jean's Bothy

Jean’s Bothy is a mental health and wellbeing hub based in a 1930s cottage with a member-managed garden. It provides a calm, welcoming space that supports people, wildlife, and nature, encouraging birds and insects to thrive. Members grow vegetables, fruit, and herbs on site, and also share an allotment in Hermitage Park with H&L Carers to expand food growing. The group runs a weekly “quick pick” every Monday, where volunteers collect litter and promote recycling to help keep the local area clean and cared for.
