Cultivating Community Connections

Cultivating Community Connections is a powerful local community project that is so much more than a gardening project for allotment holders. It is a community project that will promote the benefits of allotments in the community. The project will also deliver education for our young people through a combination of workshops and hands on gardening experience

We will welcome the local community through adult workshops and two open days for all.  Our project will:

·      Buy new tools that be used within the allotment community and community guests to ensure we have a well maintained site.

·      Buy 4 new dedicated community beds for communal growing

·      Open the site for community days to cultivate the new beds with the community

·      Install a bench for seating to create a place for conversation and connection

·      Strengthen our partnerships with the local Primary and Secondary school – to increase the school visits to the site

·      Encourage more people to join us – and encourage young people to stay involved

Promoting sustainability and building a strong community involvement is important to the site and this fund will make a huge difference to us by allowing more people to access and benefit from this great local asset.
