Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, a leading mental health charity in the region, has announced a new partnership with Coletta and Tyson, a local garden centre based in Woodmansey, Beverley. It aims to promote mental health and well-being by offering a range of activities that encourage people to connect with nature.
The partnership will officially launch on 15th May 2023, coinciding with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, a national awareness week that brings together millions of people from all kinds of backgrounds to focus on good mental health for all.
As part of the partnership, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind will be promoting mental health awareness to staff and customers at Coletta and Tyson, as well as providing guidance on how to further support mental health within the community. The partnership will also involve the creation of a dedicated space at Coletta and Tyson to promote a range of resources to improve mental health. In addition, the garden centre will be supporting the charity’s fundraising efforts by hosting events and activities throughout the year, with donations coming to Hull and East Yorkshire Mind.
Coletta & Tyson Garden Centre is a family business that believes in supporting local business and communities. Its plant selection is the biggest in the area and many of the plants are grown right here in East Yorkshire on their own nurseries. Their five star rated pets and aquatics department offers family friendly pets such as reptiles, fish and bunnies. Championing locality, its award-winning café offers everything from a tasty East Yorkshire Breakfast, scrumptious afternoon tea and lunch time specials served with locally roasted coffee or fair-trade tea. They also sell gifts for any occasion, furniture for the garden, pizza ovens, BBQ’s, home décor and toys for the kids. Coletta & Tyson has something for everyone.
