Project Overview

Jigsaw has been supporting the Mansfield community for over 15 years, helping individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including those affected by ADHD, autism, hoarding, and more. Their mission is to break down barriers and help people reintegrate into society.

VIY is helping renovate Jigsaw’s outdoor allotment space, including painting and repurposing an old shipping container into a basic kitchen for serving hot drinks and food. The project also involves building new raised beds for increased food production for local foodbanks and creating an accessible path for wheelchair users, enabling care home residents to visit.

These improvements will help Jigsaw grow food sustainably for local foodbanks and provide a safe, inclusive space for people to socialise, develop skills, and connect with their community.
