We are pleased to announce a new partnership and founding patronship with the charity, Mind Over Mountains. 

Mind Over Mountains are a mental health charity offering immediate and accessible support through therapeutic outdoor experiences. 

Founded by Alex Staniforth in 2020 with the belief that everyone deserves access to the tools they need to stay mentally and physically well.  As a founding patron, Westgrove provide financial assistance to enable the charity to support people in the wider community and particularly those facing challenging life circumstances
