AN MP visited an organic garden which provides a valuable outlet for people suffering with mental health problems.

Witney MP Robert Courts went to Bridewell Organic Gardens in Wilcote to support Local Charities Day last Friday (16).

Bridewell was established in 1993 to support those with mental health issues through gardening.

The support network sees users maintain the garden, tend to the animals and manage the vineyard.

Mr Courts said: “There are many local charities supporting communities here in West Oxfordshire and I want to highlight the fantastic work carried out by Bridewell and others so that these charities can continue to thrive."
