Welcome to Herbspace CIC. Founded in 2016 and based in North Berwick, we are a not-for-profit social enterprise providing therapeutic services to young people across East Lothian.
Herbspace offers young people a space where they can spend time, relax and gain confidence, as well as learn gardening skills and connect with nature – elements that all support physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Our core purpose is to support these young people as they grow and find their place in the world. In addition, through our work and the growing and selling of herbal products, we are raising awareness of the importance of young people’s wellbeing in the community.
We work closely with North Berwick High School, Law Primary and East Lothian Works to provide opportunities for individuals and small groups to visit during school time. We also offer lunch time drop-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school term (between 1.05-1.45) and a volunteering session on Friday afternoons. Young people and/or their parents and carers can contact us for more information on visiting Herbspace and attending any of our sessions.
We sell a range of herbal teas and vinegars, herbal bath salts and salves for dry skin, based on the herbs we grow and others we forage for in the local area. All income from selling our products is invested back into the business enabling us to continue supporting our young people.
