Welcome to Roots4Life
Roots4Life is a charity focusing on activities which aim to tackle the problems of obesity, malnutrition and loneliness, across generations.
Roots4Life is a new charity set up to equip people with the tools to live more healthily.
We are based at a new, purpose built community centre, named ‘The Baker Centre’. The centre is situated on an 8.6 acre site, which is home to a teaching kitchen, growing beds, orchard, trim trail, wildflower meadow and wildlife pond.

‘The Baker Centre’.
