Basingstoke Mencap is an independent registered charity striving to enable people who have learning disabilities to gain the best quality of life they can through providing services to promote their physical and mental well-being through leisure, recreation and social activities.

The GREENFINGERS project has been established under the Basingstoke Mencap Charity for over 3 years and provides horticultural Therapy Services and Woodwork Development Training on site which provides opportunities to develop skills and confidence offering a peaceful therapy setting or a possible gateway into voluntary or aid work.
Their trained gardeners run a Community Gardening Service in local and surrounding areas of Basingstoke. They offer Garden Maintenance, Hedge Trimming and Seasonal Jobs at competitive rates. Their new van helps them with this project and helps their clients access the wide variety of activities on offer. See their website to donate or volunteer.

Basingstoke Deane Rotary is a group of 35 men & women from a wide variety of backgrounds. All live locally in the borough but some commute to work outside Basingstoke. Most joined Rotary to help others less fortunate, and they find Basingstoke Deane Rotary adds another extremely enjoyable dimension to their lives.
