Growing for Good CIC trades as ‘The Glasshouse’ and is a Social Enterprise offering employment and horticultural training to women with lived prison experience. To date our re-offending rate of those women who have been through our programme is 0%. Our team grows and nurtures beautiful, resilient indoor plants, which are sold directly through our website and our retail shop located in Cranbrook, as well as our bespoke corporate gifting service and plant scaping for offices, hospitality and retail in Central London. We employ women directly from HMP East Sutton Park prison for women in Kent. Our placements care for, grow and propagate house plants and work in our retail shop in Cranbrook. Upon release, we offer help with job placement and housing, in order to give every woman leaving prison the best chance of success post-release. Our project is based around the proven physical and emotional benefits that being close to nature provides. Our corporate work in London provides employment for women post-release from prison as they work as plant technicians for the offices where are plants are installed. Any profit made from this corporate work is re-invested into the business to provide the employment and horticultural training programme to the women on day-release from prison.
The main stakeholders of the business include women that work us – both those from HMP East Sutton Park and those who are post release working in our plant maintenance and installation business. Our corporate contracts are with London clients who employ us for our plant maintenance and installation services. Our London Clients are stakeholders as they have our plants installed and our plant technicians working in their offices. Our local stakeholders support the High Street Shop in Cranbrook and then we have a wider client base who buy plants online. These stakeholders have not been consulted during the period under review. Our shareholders are members of The Board and our consulted formally every quarter.
